Media library Hauts-De-Seine

Opened in 2000, the Médiathèque library is a nearby cultural and social establishment accessible to all. It offers more than 130 000 documents (magazines, books, Cds, Dvds…) and offers animations for children around tales, movies and concerts, but also adults, with debates and exhibitions… It is a rich, pleasant and warm place where you can spend time.

Four poles, four universes: a youth space for children and teens on the ground floor; on the first floor, the "Literature and language" cluster of Roman, BD, philosophy and religion, as well as the Science and Society cluster; finally to the second floor the Music, Cinema, Arts and Leisure cluster, with books, Cds and Dvds. Looking to new technologies, the library has a growing number of digital resources. It is also a living cultutel site, offering exhibitions, signature meetings, literary cafés, workshops, conferences.
