The American Library in Paris aims to deepen French-American understanding. This mission has been a foundation of its activities since its inception, underscoring the institution's commitment to cultural exchange and intellectual collaboration between France and the United States.
The Visiting Fellowship at the American Library in Paris supports writers and researchers who wish to pursue a creative project in Paris for a month or longer. It encourages active participation in the Library’s community and aims to foster French-American understanding. The fellowship includes two one-month periods in fall and spring, offering a $5,000 stipend to cover travel, accommodation, and expenses. Fellows are expected to be involved in the Library's life, presenting programs, participating in events, and contributing to the Library and funding foundation with a report of their experience. Through this fellowship, the American Library in Paris connects fellows to valuable resources and networks in Paris.
