This place is rather a haven for English-speakers in Basel. They have a pretty well-stocked library…read moreof English-language books (fiction and nonfiction) as well as films, languages classes and conversation groups, other hobby groups that meet, book discussions, and helps and tips for those who have just moved to Basel. Membership is 80 francs a year for the whole family (50 for students). It's worth the fairly minimal fee, and is a must for anyone who doesn't want to spend a fortune on English books!
