Library and multi-media centre

The Af library holds several hundred titles and is now much improved, and easier to use as well as having a increasingly good range of books, thanks to Virginie Friend, who used to work at the library of the Alliance Française in New York. We are adding French language DVDs and children's books as a priority.

If you are able to donate any French books or books about France that you no longer need, we would be most grateful. Merci d'avance!
