This is where you will find the “afternoon tutor”, who will talk to you in Italian or help you with your homework or study problems. It’s a spacious, light room where you can study when you are not in class. There is a selection of grammar books and bi-lingual dictionaries (i.e. Russian-Italian, English-Italian, Japanese-Italian) for you to use, and plenty of room to sit and study or read a magazine.

Sometimes we use the room for social events, such as the wine-tasting, or occasionally as a classroom. If the library is occupied, you can do your self-study in the multimedia classroom instead!

The library  is also equipped with computers offering free internet access. There’s also free WiFi throughout the building, so you can use your smart phone or i-pad to stay in touch wherever you are in the school. Just ask at reception for the password.

We have TVs with video/DVD in every classroom, as well as in the Library/Study Centre, so if you want to relax and improve your listening skills at the same time, borrow a DVD or a video. There’s also a selection of magazines, in Italian and English.
