We are thrilled to present our brand new "Books & Multimedia Center," which now brings together the Carnets d'Asie bookstore and our Media Library in one shared space. This new area, located on the 2nd floor and open since July 20, offers a rich and immersive experience in the world of Francophone books and multimedia resources.
A new space, a new experience
This reorganization aims to provide easy and friendly access to a wide selection of books, magazines, newspapers, and digital resources. Carnets d'Asie, previously located on the ground floor of the Alliance, has moved into the Media Library space, creating a unique environment where you can browse books, watch films in French or Thai, stay updated with magazines and TV5Monde, access Culturethèque, work in a welcoming and quiet space, use our game library, borrow materials, and even purchase your favorite books and educational resources.
Events you won’t want to miss
The new "Books & Multimedia Center" will also be the heart of many cultural and educational events. Author meet-and-greets, reading workshops, lectures, children’s activities, and much more will be featured. These activities are designed to enrich your cultural experience and build an active community of Francophone culture enthusiasts. Follow Alliance Française Bangkok on social media to stay informed about upcoming events.
