No RSVP needed! Join us at any time during 15h00 – 18h00.

You’re warmly invited to a free Open House at the American Library in Paris on Tuesday 2 December from 15h to 18h.

The Library will be open to all: bring friends, family, neighbors, and anyone curious about our welcoming home for readers and thinkers.

Pop into the Florence Gould Reading Room anytime between 15h to 18h to:

• Uncover hidden treasures from our Archives and hear fascinating stories from the Library’s colorful past

• Explore our Children’s and Teens’ collections and activities

• Visit our “Geek Corner” for board games and graphic novels

• Get personalized help navigating our digital treasures (ebooks, audiobooks, and research databases)

• Discover exclusive donor events like our annual Book Award and Gala, and learn how your support brings them to life

• Find out how to volunteer and join our vibrant community

Why This Matters

As an independent, non-profit organization since 1920, the Library thrives solely due to the generosity and passion of our community. This Open House is your chance to see what we’re all about and discover the many ways you can be part of our story.

Giving Tuesday Challenge

This fall, we’ve set an ambitious goal: reach 100 donors by year’s end. If you’d like to support the Library during your visit, we’ll have a donation station in the Reading Room. Every gift—large or small—brings us closer to our goal and helps keep our doors open!
