Website | EmailFounded in 1920 thanks to the 30,000 books left behind by the Library War Services, which had supplied the "Doughboys" in the trenches with American reading material, the American Library in Paris has stayed true ever since. Staying open through WWII, refusing entry to the McCarthy Committee, introducing Braille books in English, its mission to bring American literature and culture to France continues today. With over 115,000 volumes, a large supply of magazines & newspapers, children’s books and reading programs, CDs & DVDs, the American Library in Paris has all bases covered. Short-term Membership with borrowing privileges starts at 4 months. - Charlotte Bonin
