Foreign libraries in Istanbul are often associated with the consulate of that nation or with cultural centers dedicated to that language, such as the Goethe Institut or the Cervantes Institute. There is also Linda Robinson’s English-language book exchange in the Taksim-Tünel area on Asmalı Mescit Sokak across from Babylon at 18 Şeyh Bender Sokak. It is typically open 5pm–7pm weekdays.
