On-site Libraries for Citizens

The new Info Hub on the Solidarność 1980 Esplanade gives all citizens access to a wide range of multimedia resources on the European Union and the work of the European Parliament.
Visitors will also have the opportunity to discover exhibitions and to watch book talks and other events either broadcast live from inside the European Parliament or recorded.

With over 10 000 books from across Europe, the Library for Europe collection pays tribute to the vital contribution of books to the development of a common European culture in the EU and its neighbourhood.

The Library for Europe collection was created following a 2018 European Parliament Bureau decision and was developed with the help of many national libraries. If offers hand chosen books in all the languages of the European Union in 50 different areas of knowledge ranging from political science to history and literature. Original language versions are presented alongside their available translations.

The Library for Europe collection is available for consultation to visitors of the EP Library Reading Room in a dedicated space, as well as on demand for citizens without accreditation at the EP Infohub, situated on Esplanade Solidarność.

A Visitors' reading corner in Strasbourg will offer a large collection of readings on smart boards as well as multimedia content on the EU, partly provided in partnership with ARTE Television.

Exact opening date to be announced.
