For all of the titles that are available in the library, consult our online catalogue. This research tool gives you access to detailed descriptions of all of the library’s monographs, periodicals, and individual articles, as well as their location.

The catalogue also enables you to keep up on the most recent titles to be added to the collection and, if you have a library card, to manage your account online, suggest new titles for acquisitions, place a hold on a book, or renew borrowed items.

A true world panorama of modern and contemporary literature, the library’s collections, in original languages and in French translation, are classified by major language zones from the ground floor to the 3rd level. 

The 4th and last level features the Varia collection, in which the written word resonates with other forms of artistic expression.

Each zone of the map below corresponds to a specific color that you will find on the shelves. You can explore the details of the classification system further on.

The library is free and open to all. Library areas are accessible to all people with disabilities or reduced mobility.

If you wish to borrow library materials, you must be a member of the library. Joining is easy. You will need to show valid ID and any other document justifying reduced pricing, and pay the appropriate membership fee.

For minors requesting a library card, their parents must fill out and sign a specific authorization.

The library card is good for one year from the date it is issued and gives the holder unlimited access to all the exhibitions mounted by the Foundation.
