If you are a book lover but you don't speak or read Italian and you are looking for a library suitable for you, near the famous Castle Sforzesco you can find the place for you. It's called the American bookstore and it's a small and warm library that sells American and English books, naturally, in English language.
Here you can find rare and old books or even the last novel that appeared in the USA. They sell every kind of book in English you might need, and even have the possibility of ordering from all over the world the book you want. So you just need to express your wish, and they will satisfy it. By the way, in the city where Ernest Hemingway spent a long time after World War One, there's a great community that loves American and English culture, and above all - their literature, and has its center in this library.
