The French Institute in Egypt’s media library in Heliopolis has over 16,000 documents: novels, essays, short stories, tales and FLE workbooks – 1000 DVDs and audio material for both children and adults.
The Heliopolis Media Library
Several areas are open to visitors: the student’s library, a reading space and a space for the youth, not to mention its digital space (www.culturetheque.com). Accessing and consulting documents is open and free in all spaces.
Borrowing documents requires registration.
It is a major hub of culture and influence with its cultural activities organized by the Heliopolis Francophiles Club, created in 2013 by students of the Institute.

Tales, games, movies and a puppet show await young audiences every Friday from 2 PM to 3:30 PM. This activity is reserved for members of the media library.
Le Rallye lecture (Reading Rally)
