Hello,
I've recently shifted to Zurich for purposes of work. I would
like to have information on the libraries here which have a good English
collection, i.e; books written/translated in English. Kindly tell me how
I can get memberships to such libraries.
I'm specifically looking for early 20th century literature
(novels, memoirs, (auto)biographies, etc) but a little variation would
also suit me well.
If in addition there are private circulation/lending
arrangements I would like to know more about them.
Thanks in advance,
Anirvan.

Most of them are indexed in the same catalogue and can be used with the same membership. Membership and use is free, just bring some form of identification when you first visit one of the libraries in order to get your card. The two biggest university libraries are the Zentralbibliothek and the ETH library. The university has an English department with its own library as well. You can find links to the online catalogue, locations, opening times etc. at the ETH library's homepage: http://www.ethbib.ethz.ch/index_e.html Note that these libraries are research-oriented. They have a lot of books, but you already have to know what you are looking for as it usually is difficult to just browse the books. -Simon
