I think your website is great. It's nice to know that you're on the web now.
I was a regular patron of your library during the 1992-93 academic year when I was
studying French in Montpellier. I have good memories of all of the books I read while I
was there. Keep up the good work!!
Question: if someone would like to donate books, how would one go about it?

Hey Kevin!
It's been too long. This is Jonathan Bucki, remember me? I've been missing for over a
year now.
I hope all is well. Regards to fafa.

I spent a year in Montpellier ten years ago. As I am about to return for a visit, I
decided to "visit" the web and find out what was available. Finding the web site
was like finding a "home." The library was our anchor for the year we were
there. The web site is EXCELLENT ! Thanks for being there (and here) Alice R. Abbott

That was a discovery - as magic and as dear as a grandma's attic. The library seemed to
me so warm and cheerfull as a Christmass gift, as a big colorfull cake in the childrens'
eyes. I got hungry for all the precious knowledge that it was ressembling and taking care
of. Impatient to occupy a little corner in it and dive in its treasures. Here I am back
again. So from now on--silence. I'm diving.

Fantastic website. I've been looking for French-English dictionaries for Chemistry, but
I rarely find anything written this decade (or the last). Anyone know where I can find
one?

Sorry, Magnus. We don't have anything recent. I checked several university catalogs in
France, Switzerland and Canada. Nothing interesting... I even checked UNH and Dartmouth.
Try this site: http://library.usask.ca/hytelnet/sites1.html
. It has a good list of telnet connections to many libraries. Good Luck!

Bonjour Kevin! As it's been over 10 years now (1987-88) since I was in Montpellier,
I'll not write in French! I am very impressed that La bibliotheque americaine has it's own
web site now, and I have it book marked. I hope the library is ever expanding and would
like be able to help. If you accept donations of materials, please let me know. Also, any
one who remembers David McCrady from Western Kentucky University's program, send me an
e-mail at ffdavemc@aol.com!

Hi...I lived in Montpellier in the early 80's. I was a student there and missed home
very much! I used The American Library all the time for publications from my country and
read books in English. I enjoyed it so much. At the time Francoise worked there....she was
always so friendly. Colleen Frenchgirl77@hotmail.com

I am a 14 year old girl from Northern Ireland and at the moment I am doing a project on
abortion. I would like to say that I thought that abortion wasn't that bad but now after
reading this website I think it is the most unforgivable thing. Today (30/1/00) is Life
Sunday and it is a day to be for life and to think of the unborn babies. Thank you so much
for helping me decide.
Are you sure you signed the correct guestbook?
I don't see how anything on OUR Web site could have influenced your decision. You must be
referring to another site. Our library, if we are doing our job correctly, is a repository
of information and resources covering the entire spectum of viewpoints and, as such,
expresses no opinion of its own about any issue.
Anyway, thank you for your interest in the American Library.

I couldn't believe it the first time that I walked into the American library
here in Montpellier. Given any city in the world, given any two cultures, such a
convenient and popular center of cultural exchange is rare. So even greater was my
disbelief when I found out that, for all intents and purposes, the library was being
closed. You would think that the response to the success of the American Library would be
to encourage even more such centers --- for Spanish, Italian, Chinese, etc., further
complementing the university’s role in making Montpellier an international city.
It’s sad to think that once again petty parochial interests have triumphed over
the forces actually trying to bring people closer.

I read the Feb 10, 2000 comment about the library closing. Is it true that you are
closing?!?! I was in Montpellier as a student from Sept. 1996 through Jan. 1997 and have
many fond memories of my visits to the library. (I don't know if anyone there would
remember me. I was a tall girl with big glasses and brown hair and, by the end of my stay,
my shoes were falling apart. I remember discussing the difficulties of finding shoes for
large female feet in France, if that rings any bells.) If it is true, what can we do?

Emily, Don't worry. The Library hasn't closed. It has moved to a new building and it
has changed quite a bit but the books are still available. See the "Home" page
for the new address and the opening hours. You can see "l'évolution des choses"
in the "What's New" section of this site. I'm no longer working at the library
due to budget cuts, but Françoise is still there and I am keeping this site up-to-date as
well as I can. The American Library is scheduled to move AGAIN to a new and more
independent location in a couple of years. I'm sure it will resemble the library we knew
and loved after this second move.

I would like to thank you for this site. For weeks I look for an answer to a black

noticed where I could e-mail Kevin for additional assistance. He responded almost
immediately, and gave me the answer I had been looking for. Again, thank you.

Hi Kevin. I just talked to an English teacher who reminded me of the library. Last time I went there was in 1998 when I was training for the TOEFL. We took an entire test and I made only one mistake and you thought I had cheated because YOU made two. Do you remember any of that? Anyway, I just wanted you to know I scored 667 on the real test... :) :) :) I'll come around the new library next week. Nice site, simple, comprehensive and clear design and content. See you around, PL.
