Library & Bookshop

SprachCafé Polnisch Library in der Schulzestr. 1, 13187 Berlin-Pankow

In our library, you can find Polish books and German-language versions of works by Polish authors.

All books are available for loan and we have a small selection of books for sale.

We also stock books by authors who visit the café – and, with a bit of luck, you might even get an autograph 😉

In the library, we collect books from the following categories:

  • books about Poland (albums, history books, guidebooks, biographies, etc.) in Polish and German,
  • novels and poems for adults and young adults in Polish, German-language books by Polish authors,
  • children’s books in Polish and German.
