Participants in activities of the European Youth
Centre Budapest are welcome to use the Library. It is located on the
ground floor within the Mobilitás Information
Service (MIS) and the collection itself is merged with that of the MIS.
This collection is specifically geared to participants’ needs and we also
aim to provide an information service for trainers, for our staff and to members
of the public interested in the Council of Europe and in European youth information
in general.
Our collection:
- A small reference library with dictionaries, textbooks, collections of articles,
CD-ROMs, videocassettes and educational materials about youth and youth work.
These are mainly in English but also in other languages;
- Council of Europe publications and documents;
- Information on national and international non-governmental youth organisations
(INGYOs) - information leaflets and annual activity reports;
- Information on the Council of Europe’s work in the youth field: reports
of study sessions and meetings held at the EYCB;
- Bibliographies covering resources in the EYCB and external resources
- Files containing articles relevant to specific topics;
- Free Council of Europe and Mobilitás publications are displayed next to
the entrance;
- international newspapers, magazines and publications of European institutions
and NGOs.
Services provided:
- Preparing displays of books, bibliographies and articles on the theme of
training courses and study sessions for use by participants;
- Obtaining documents on a wide variety of topics for trainers and course
organisers working for the EYCB;
- Answering enquiries by telephone, e-mail and post about the work of the
EYCB and the resources in our collection;
- Providing a place for networking, exchange, study and reading;

The arrangement of the collection is thematic. COE and EU documents, study
session reports, brochures and photocopies of articles are stored on the shelves
next to the books relating to specific topics. You can have a look at our Subject
