Médiathèque départementale de l'Isère

The Médiathèque départementale de l'Isère is a departmental library with two locations in Saint-Martin-d'Hères and Bourgoin-Jallieu that houses books, magazines, and digital materials. The collections are organized through a computer management system that helps visitors search and borrow materials efficiently.

Founded in 1945, this library network grew into a central information center serving the Isère department. Over the decades, its mission expanded to reach more people across the region with reading materials and knowledge resources.

The name reflects its role as a central hub where residents find media and information resources from the Isère department. Staff collaborate with local authors and publishers to strengthen the region's literary community.

Both locations offer the same services and collections, so you can visit whichever branch is most convenient to your location. The best time to visit is during regular hours when staff are available to answer questions and help you find what you need.

Since 2005, the library has partnered with correctional services in Isère to provide reading materials to people in detention facilities. This program shows that access to books and education is a priority for all members of the community.
