American Library in Paris, English language library in 7th arrondissement of Paris, France.
The American Library in Paris maintains a collection of 100,000 books across multiple floors in a building near the Eiffel Tower.
The Library War Service of the American Library Association established this institution in 1920 to provide reading materials for US soldiers in Europe.
The library organizes regular author presentations, literary discussions, and educational programs for both English and French-speaking communities in Paris.
