English-language Library in Angers / Bibliotheque Anglophone d'Angers

We are heartbroken to learn about the tragic shooting at the Austin Central Library in our sister city, Austin, Texas. While this appears to be an isolated event, we know the pain and fear from such a tragedy will stay with the community for a long time.

Our thoughts are with the library staff, visitors, and everyone in Austin who loves and depends on their library. Libraries are meant to be safe spaces—places for curiosity, learning, and connection—and we stand with our colleagues in Austin in their commitment to keeping them that way.
