cultures, there is something in the library for you.
We have a specially-selected collection of contemporary and classic novels, drama, French-language
films and DVDs,

The Learners' library is a special section dedicated to learning resources and linguistics. You can
use it to work on your grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing, listening or speaking skills.
In it there are French manuals, exercise books and guides, but also general interest books about the French language and easy-reader books in French.
It is free to browse and read our collection onsite. To take library items home with you, you need to register as a library member. All memberships are valid for one year and entitle you to a range of discounts with our partner organisations and businesses. Find out more about membership here.
