 Skidmore in Paris - Lifeline - Libraries
In Paris, there are two kinds of libraries: the city's network; and others which have restricted access and/or require a small fee.
Many of these libraries have specific areas of concentration: that is, aside from their general collections, they have a special collection based on one topic or subject (Trocadero, for instance, focuses on tourism literature -- useful for French Contemporary Society presentations -- and foreign languages -- useful for some light reading on the side).
The main problem with this library is that it is almost always crowded resulting in long line (allow at least 15 — 30 for entry, which has been known to take up to an hour on Sunday evenings), and once inside it takes a while to find free place at a table.
