Lending Library

Icelanders are known for reading, writing and publishing more books per capita than any other country. So, it is no surprize that the ICCT has a treasured lending library. Many of these books in the collection have been donated by members or purchased through the generosity of member donations. Please peruse the book lists below and see if there are any titles you are interested in borrowing:

• Icelandic Book List
• English Book List

If you are looking for something specific and can't find it on the list ⋅⋅⋅ do not despair ⋅⋅⋅ it might just not be updated on the list yet. Come on out to an ICCT event or contact the ICCT Librarian, Margaret Van Hamme, e-mail: margretbvh@sympatico.ca.

Please also note that donations of books or funds to assist the library are always welcome.
