The Goethe-Institut Library



The Goethe-Institut New York Library is one of the few German-language lending libraries in the United States. Our holdings number approximately 7,000 volumes, including books (one-quarter of which are in English), audio books, DVDs, CDs, newspapers and magazines.

Our collection features four areas of specialization:

   * contemporary German art;
   * contemporary and classic German literature;
   * German film; and
   * German history from the late 19th century to the present.

The Library also publishes two blogs:

Current Writing in German http://blog.goethe.de/current-writing/ is an up-to-date summary of German literary activities in the United States, new translations into English, literary award winners and other news of
