Other Libraries
CYA students have access to one of the most important libraries in Athens, The Blegen Library of the American School of Classical Studies. This library focuses on all aspects of Greece and the Greeks from earliest prehistory through late antiquity, and it currently houses approximately 105,000 volumes and nearly 700 periodicals. It is one of the premier research libraries in the world and the best in Greece.
Among other specialist libraries, students can visit the Gennadius Library , which houses a significant collection of texts on Greek history, literature, and art from antiquity until modern times.
For help with further research on a topic, our librarian can assist you with access to other academic and specialist libraries throughout Athens.
