Library of Foreign Literature

It was one of my most favorite places/spots when I studied at university in Moscow. It was truly a hidden gem in downtown area. What I loved about this library was free access to American center, where various interesting events would be held. Also there was BBC station/library on one of the upper levels. I always loved visiting this place , because there was some kind of calming, dopamine releasing atmosphere in this building. Even the surrounding of the library, its garden had very pleasant vibe. I have to also say that that part of Moscow, where this library is located, in general, has always had therapeutic energy. I miss walking from Taganskaya station to this library to attend some events, listen to various lectures or just to wander in different libraries, and then walking down the Ulitsya Solyanka towards Kitay Gorod. Good times. That's how I would spend my time when I was student.

I have been here in September 2018. It was the German Language Conference there a lot of German universities, specialists of German language and even German people have been. The building is modern, cozy and convinient. That was such a great time spent here. Hope to join the same conference next year.

For 50+ years through changes and perturbations this is the best place in Mocsow for very serious scholars as well as for the beginners interested to know more about the world! Times change but the best library in Russia is the same, because it improves all the time to meet growing expectations and the latest trends!

Good collection of historical things and books as well

American Center at the library is an awesome resource.
