Historique
Fondé en 1820.
The Library began as an exchange of books between families who spent the winters in Nice in the 1820s.. This gradually expanded and by 1852 the first organised Library, complete with Librarian was up an running. Notices can still be seen in the present Library dating from that time, which stipulate that the volumes are for the use of the Congregation and «must not be lent to others». According to the Library Rules one family was allowed the use of four volumes at a time, for a maximum of fifteen days. Evidently strict attention was paid to material entering the Library as one notice states that «…presents of Books are gratefully received, (subject to the approbation of the Chaplain).»
In tandem with the Church Library there existed a small circulating library
