Library

The AFB library, with free WI-FI access, is a resource that all members and students are encouraged to take advantage of. Our collection of books is nearly exclusively in French and numbers about 2,000 volumes. We have organized our books under the Dewey Decimal System. The majority of our collection consists of a solid base of classic literature and a variety of recent novels. Our selection of books in "française facile" has been warmly received by our students. We also have books on history, literary criticism, art, and biographies. 
 
      
      In addition to our books, our library also features three other sections. First, we collect current information on Francophile activities in our region. This serves as a contact center for French people newly established in the East Bay. Then, we maintain a selection of current books on French tourism and culture. Brochures, newspaper articles, statistics, etc. are filed by region and provide a good source of information for the business or pleasure traveler or the person who wants to pursue further studies in France. Finally, we have a collection of audiotapes, videos and CDs Champs-Elysées, French in Action(Capretz), and Fluent French. 
We rely on donations to expand our collection. If you have any French books that you no longer use, consider donating them to the AFB library for everyone to enjoy. 
 
 The library is open during normal AFB office hours.
 
       You may also make an appointment to use the library at another time. Students and members are welcome to do French homework, consult reference books, borrow books or tapes, browse through our collection of periodicals. We also offer a free Wi-Fi connection to the Internet for your laptop.
       To make a library appointment, call AFB at 510-548-7481 or contact us by e-mail
