Established in 2017, We Need Books is the first multilingual contemporary library of Greece.
The library's mission is geared towards helping the development and strengthening of the social fabric of Athens by lifting cultural and linguistic barriers for all, including vulnerable populations from any walk of life.
We Need Books aims to build an open, inclusive and stronger Greek community, spark imagination, and empower its members by providing a multipurpose space where free classes and tutoring, children's creative and educational activities and a range of cultural events and workshops take place.
The library offers cosy reading corners, communal worktables, a summer garden patio, free wifi, hosts a volume of over 14,000 books currently in 21 languages, and is an accessible facility.
