As of February 2024, the library houses 214 physical books in three languages — English, French, and Russian. The collection encompasses a wide range of themes, including Arctic and Antarctic expeditions, the North Pole, Arctic social sciences, polar history, first-hand accounts of travel and exploration, creative writing, and polar art, among others. Several works cover the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), a region in Siberia. We are looking forward to the new year of Polar studies!
