In The Beginning
The Scandinavian Library and Information Center was
founded in 1994 to be a center for Scandinavians (people from Sweden, Norway,
Denmark, Finland, and Iceland) in the Greater Boston area and includes a
library and ongoing activities. The
Library has since changed its name to just the “Scandinavian Library” and has
left behind “and Information Center.”
The Library
The Scandinavian Library is a 501 (c)(3), a
non-profit organization. Any donations
or bequests to the Library are tax deductible.
The Library has a collection of more than 6000 books
by Nordic authors in the original language or about the Nordic countries and
cultures.
Current newspapers from the Nordic countries are delivered weekly. Audio
books and DVDs/VHS tapes are available to be borrowed.
Kaffestugan
In the Kaffestuga you can enjoy reading newspapers
and magazines, browse through the book collection and have a cup of coffee
and special Scandinavian treats. Click

The Activities
The Scandinavian Library has arrangements almost
every month ranging from talks on topics of interest to the Scandinavian
community to parties where we enjoy Nordic food and the company of anyone
interested in the Nordic people or the Nordic cultures. Check the Calendar
for information.
