The library is a vital part of the University. It is a collective tool used in all disciplines to allow students to develop their intellect, general knowledge and recreational skills in the fields of Arts, Literature and Social Sciences above and beyond what is taught in the University. It gives its users autonomy in their quest for information and knowledge.

 The aim of the University is to create a library containing reference works in the areas of Arts, Literature and Social Sciences in French, as well as the main works representative of Western and Arabic cultures in their original language.

 The library opened in October 2006 with 8 000 works. This will be gradually supplemented with 15 000 new acquisitions per year.

 Users are encouraged to participate in the acquisition of works by making suggestions. The library staff will take them into account depending on their relevance.

 The Library is made up of:

• A reading room that contains manuals and books to be consulted on the spot in conjunction with the courses taught. This ensures that essential works are available to all at all time. After a few weeks, at the end of the course, these books can once again be borrowed.
• An adjoining periodicals room
• A free access storage room containing books

 The Library staff is available to help users in any possible way.

  Borrowing Structure

 Certain documents cannot be borrowed:

• periodicals,
• manuals and documents displaying « Exclu du prêt » or « Consultation sur place » signs.

You can borrow your books from the reception area of the library.
