French for libraries

Due to this cultural aspect, and due to French regulation on prices of books and e-books, French language bookstores are thriving in France, while British language bookstores are floundering. Additionally to bookstores (or librairies, in French), many French libraries (or bibliothèques) are now being renovated making into more “life centers” than simply libraries. New libraries in France not just offer job counseling services as well as other conferences, but a number of them offer babysitting and cafés, among other services. While there’s been some debate relating to this, many French library company directors are redesigning their libraries as “la bibliothéque troisième lieu.” La troisième lieu means “the third space” the very first two spaces are work and home, correspondingly, and, thus, within this view, the library is a vital third space of not just studying and researching, but social encounters and everyday living.

Lately, there’s been a debate happening in France if to spread out libraries every sunday as continues to be completed with some stores. To learn more concerning the opening hrs of stores in France, you can observe John’s publish here. This is a recent article in LeFigaro.fr concerning the debate over whether libraries ought to be open every sunday: “Pourquoi l’ouverture plusieurs bibliothéques le dimanche fait debat.”

But it is not all! To incite and encourage library use and studying, the association L.I.R.E is popping some Parisian parks this summer time into “libraries without walls” or l’ensemble des bibliothéques hors l’ensemble des murs:

Chaque semaine, l’ensemble des bibliothèques en Ville, en partenariat avec l’association L.I.R.E. à Paris, installent « hors l’ensemble des murs », pour quelques heures, leurs collections de livres, albums et revues pour tous l’ensemble des âges et tous l’ensemble des goûts.

Dans plus de 50 parcs et jardins de Paris, l’ensemble des bibliothécaires et animateurs font découvrir à tous, histoires, contes, albums d’images. Vous pouvez à écouter, lire ou peut-rrtre un feuilleter l’ensemble des ouvrages mis à disposition componen l’ensemble des bibliothèques parisiennes.

« L’ensemble des bibliothèques « hors l’ensemble des murs » permettent aux Parisiens qui ne fréquentent pas la bibliothèque de découvrir la richesse de leurs collections, leur proximité géographique et que l’inscription est gratuite. «On espère leur donner envie de pousser la porte en bibliothèque dès septembre ! », observe Bruno Julliard, premier adjoint à la Maire de Paris.
