18 APA Program Office & Facilities

In the APA program office, you will find a reading/meeting room and a room equipped with 1-2 computers, a printer (you will have to provide your own paper) and access to Wi-Fi (available only for academic use). The program also has a certain number of books available for students, some reference materials, including an excellent encyclopedia and many dictionaries. You are welcome to use these facilities during regular office hours.

The APA office is typically open from 8:30-12:00 and 2-4:30 PM Monday-Friday. The onsite staff will post any other office closures on the WhatsApp group, so you should make sure to check it daily before heading to the office.

Libraries

French university libraries, as well as public libraries, close early in the evening. Therefore, libraries are not available as places where you can study late. The University library catalog is available on the internet (https://catalogue.univ-amu.fr/). You may want to use the public library (Cité du Livre) where you can check out items without charge.

The Cité du Livre (Méjanes) has a very rich collection of books and large reading rooms where a lot of French students study for their exams. The catalog of the Cité du Livre is also available on the internet (http://www.citedulivre-aix.com)
