In addition to reading rooms and ample stack space, the library has a number of special features which include a 200-seat auditorium. There is also a Periodicals Reading Room, supplied with current issues of several thousand periodicals and hundreds of newspapers from all over the world, and a microfilm reading room.

Its holdings are limited to materials bearing on the interests of the United Nations, that is the political, legal, social, economic and geographical conditions in all the nations of the world.
