All members and students are welcome in our Library to do French homework, consult reference books, borrow books or tapes, and browse through our collection of periodicals. We offer free Wi-Fi to our members.
Our collection of books is nearly exclusively in French and numbers about 2,000 volumes. Most of our collection consists of classic literature and various recent novels.
Our selection of books in “français facile” has been warmly received by our students. We also have books on history, literary criticism, art, and biographies.
Our board member, Anne Smith, regularly writes book reviews to inspire reading. Please go here for Book Reviews or check them out in our blog section.
