French Library and Cultural Center

 
  Man standing on books.

Founded over 50 years ago, the French Library and Cultural Center, the largest institution of its kind in New England, houses an impressive collection of French books (30,000 volumes), periodicals, films, audio and video cassettes. In addition to the extensive library, the Center offers year-round programs including language classes, lectures, concerts, cooking demonstrations, and art exhibitions. Their mission is to promote French language and culture by serving and educating the culturally diverse Francophone and Francophile communities of Boston and New England.

The librarians are at your service for information, advice and answers by e-mail, fax, telephone, correspondence and in person. The library's strengths are to be found in the humanities, particularly in social studies, literature and literary criticism (French and Francophone), history and the cinema. Its reference services are supported by a substantial collection of current and reliable resources. Reading rooms, reference books and stacks are open to the general public for consultation and browsing. To have the privilege and responsibility of borrowing books/ magazines/ cassettes or videos, however, one must become a member.
