Also called “Bibliothèque de l’apprenant”, this section is specially organized to support and aid students of all levels in French language learning. Items are selected by the librarians and are classified by levels with a color-coded scheme (A1=blue, A2=green, B1=orange and B2=red). It includes audio books and additional references for grammar, vocabulary, spelling and other specialized books.
