Thanks to its close links with the City of Basel Music School, the FHNW Academy of Music and the Schola Cantorum Basiliensis, the library of the Academy of Music now boasts the largest music collection in Switzerland. Its holdings encompass a broad range of music-related books and other resources: from early to contemporary music, right up to and including critical editions and specialised teaching literature. The library also has its own audio and copy centre, as well as some 60 workspaces. All of its holdings are indexed in the Basel-Bern IDS catalogue.

Along with the entire campus of the Musik-Akademie Basel, the library remains closed to the public until the end of the school year, or end of term. As of 11 May 2020 it will be partially opened to teachers and students of the Music School and the Hochschule für Musik FHNW. This will be done gradually and will be subject to certain restrictions.
