Designed by Philippe Starck, this multimedia and learning center contains books, computers, tablets, board games, creative materials and a cinema, and can accommodate up to 50 people.

The association is currently present in Europe, the United States, the Middle East, Africa and Asia.

Why we love it?

A magnificent association that spreads culture by all means and in all territories.

With our libraries, we may not be able to stop war, but we can certainly help build peace.
