Staff at the French national library, which opened last month in Paris, have ended their seventeen-day strike.

The librarians were protesting against poor working conditions, including window less oficies and a computer system that loses books.

But unions say the government has now made enough concessions.

The library, named after former President Francois Mitterrand, consists of four glass book-like towers.

The BBC Paris correspondent says that even if the computer difficulties are resolved, the flaws in the one-and-a-half billion dollar building will remain.
