Library, Information and Study Centres
The British Council Library, Information and Study Centres in Portugal
provide access to information and reference sources in both printed
and electronic form to over 20,000 enquirers per year, and a wide
range of reading and language practice material for students of
English.
Our lending collections - books, videos, CD-ROMS, audiocassettes
- focus above all on English Language teaching and learning, and
life and culture in the contemporary UK.
These collections are complemented by a wide range of newspapers
and general interest magazines, together with academic journals
focussing mainly on language teaching and learning.
The combined membership of our three central Libraries and Study
Centres in Lisbon, Oporto and Coimbra currently numbers around 6,500.
We have also extended information provision to our teaching branches
in Greater Lisbon and Greater Oporto.
