Library
The AUP Library, open to the AUP community, is located in the 7th arrondissement of Paris, a block away from the Eiffel Tower. The Library is one of the most dynamic academic services on campus. Its selective collection provides support for the undergraduate and graduate programs. Partner Parisian academic libraries enhance access to the extremely rich scholarly information existing in the city. A constantly growing collection of book, journals, films is complemented by a large collection of online resources (e-books, e-encyclopedias, e-journals, full text databases, etc.). Group study rooms, a teleconferencing room and informal reading areas, wireless access, sufficient electrical outlets for laptops and large flat screen monitors facilitate collaborative work. The AUP Library works closely with the Academic Resource Center (ARC) and Information Technology Services (ITS) to provide the best possible services to students and faculty.
Professional librarians help fulfill one of the main institutional goals, which is assisting its users in becoming self-sufficient information-literate researchers. Information fluency instruction at AUP is embedded in the various programs from the basic level (English for University Studies, English Bridge, FirstBridge) to upper level courses.

Famous quotes containing the word library:
“Madam, a circulating library in a town is as an evergreen tree of diabolical knowledge; it blossoms through the year. And depend on it ... that they who are so fond of handling the leaves, will long for the fruit at last.”
—Richard Brinsley Sheridan (1751–1816)
“The fear of failure is so great, it is no wonder that the desire to do right by one’s children has led to a whole library of books offering advice on how to raise them.”
—Bruno Bettelheim (20th century)
“I view askance a book that remains undisturbed for a year. Oughtn’t it to have a ticket of leave? I think I may safely say no book in my library remains unopened a year at a time, except my own works and Tennyson’s.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
