Has anyone visited the Ecole Francaise d'Extreme Oriens (EFEO)library at 54 Ngo Ha Hoi?
I'm interested in stopping by on a return visit to Ha Noi later this year and will be grateful for any information or comments.
There is a short article about the EFEO on Vietnam Pathfinder website.
Thanks in advance.

The EFEO is dead easy to use. Unlike many other libraries, it's very easy to get access to. The library holds a considerable number of volumes, mostly in Vietnamese, French and English. The librarian is quite friendly, and you only need to fill out a little form to get access. I believe you need to have some academic affiliation (ie, doing a PhD or some such) but ... well these things can be fibbed if you don't have one, can't they? They don't investigate or require anything official ...
NB - The staff at the library speak only Vietnamese and French.
Opening hours are Monday to Friday 8am to 12pm and 2pm to 5pm.

I have used the library extensively and have no affiliation. Mention to the librarian that you saw the article. He has a copy and was quite chuffed to see it printed.
You're supposed to have a photo and copy of your passport.
