Library

Books on shelvesIn the upper level of Esperanto House is a large library for members. It includes 2700+ books and periodicals. We plan to eventually set up an online loan system, but until then, there is a manual system, using a book. However, you can now see the catalogue as an online spreadsheet.

So, what will you find in the library? Well, what interests you? Is it biology? Maybe you would like the book Sekretoj de la marestaĵoj (Secrets of the sea creatures), by Petar Giunio. Cosmology? Davis Galadi-Enriquez and Amri Wandel wrote La kosmo kaj ni: Galaksio, planedoj kaj vivo en la universo (The cosmos and us: Galaxy, planets and life in the universe). There are also many books on geography, history and other specialist subjects. Of course, there are many books (in fact, more than 500) about Esperanto itself, including dictionaries, textbooks, and books about grammar, the history of Esperanto or the Esperanto movement, and studies about, and advice for, writing. There are even many books in English that argue for Esperanto. However, the largest main section of the library is literature, both original and translated, including novels, short stories, plays, poetry, songs, speeches and picture books.
