Join us for the back-into-the-swing-of-things volunteer meeting on Wednesday, September 9 starting at 6 p.m. in the library.

Call for volunteers! The good news is that big things are planned for the Fall 2026 season! More of the good news is that we need your help… If you have some time to give during the coming year and would like to volunteer for the library, come to this organizational meeting. At this meeting we will explain the different projects and ask you to think about in what way you are able to fit into the plans. If you are not able to attend this meeting, please contact Lena by email and we would be happy to meet with you on an individual basis.

The library is an authorized test center for the TOEIC Listening and Reading Test (the Test of English for International Communication). For more information please visit our TOEIC page or to sign up go to the official ETS website.

If you enjoy exploring all forms of textile and multimedia art, this activity is for you.

We experiment with many different techniques (embroidery, weaving, patchwork, quilting, collages, dyeing techniques…) and we take pleasure in sharing and exploring various types of work together.

Some of our shared projects are displayed at the library. This year we intend to go further into the artistic side of creation.

No previous expertise required. Just come and join us!

We’re so grateful for the many friends of the library in the United States who have supported us over the years. As we prepare for our move to our new home, we’d love to share an exciting new way for you to be part of the library’s future.

Through our new partnership with the Friends of the Fondation de France, U.S. donors can now support the library and receive tax benefits.

We’re hosting a relaxed online information evening to explain how it works, answer your questions, and share a little about what your support can help make possible — from our new space to our growing collections and programmes.

The presentation will take place via Microsoft Teams and a recording will be available if you are not able to join us live. Please register through this link.
