Overview
The LLC’s book collection is multilingual. Most books are in English but we also have many books in French and German. We have fewer books in Luxembourgish.
Print books are available on the shelves in the LLC. They are classified by theme using the Dewey Decimal Classification.
The Dewey system organises all human knowledge into 10 broad classes. Each floor contains several subcategories (for example the 1st floor contains the psychology category (150) and the education category (370)).
The Stacks (on floor -2) contains older/less used books on all topics.
As the LLC holds 184 000 books, we advise that you use the a-z.lu catalogue to search for books.
