• The Polish Library is a circulating library serving the needs of the Polish community in Metropolitan Washington as well as Polish-Americans and others interested in Polish literature, culture, history, and present day Poland. We have a collection of over 7,000 books on Polish subjects in Polish and English, and over 250 films on video and DVD. In our reading room we have available several Polish magazines and newspapers, such as  Polityka, Tygodnik Powszechny, Wprost, Newsweek Polska, Przekrój, Twój Styl, Pani.

  • The Polish Library was started and is operated by The Friends of the Polish Library in Washington, a private, non-profit organization incorporated in Washington D.C. The Friends have an elected Board of fifteen members.

     

    Everyone is welcome to become a member. Annual dues are $20 for individuals, $30 for families, $10 for students. Only members can borrow books and videos. Members receive the library's bi-monthly Newsletter listing cultural and social events of interest to the Polish community. We welcome all volunteers who want to help with library work.
