WE NEED BOOKS
Greece’s first multilingual library and cultural center

We are Athens’ first multilingual lending library and multicultural center, with an ever growing collection of over 14,000 books in over 30 languages, a children’s library, a beautiful little garden and a friendly atmosphere. We aim to make our library the place where neighbours, locals, migrants, refugees, visitors, children, students, pensioners come to read, have a conversation, work or participate in the various language lessons, artistic workshops and cultural activities we organise.
You can access our online catalogue to see the books that are currently available for lending.
