Selected works from our Stacks and ebook collections on the Latin language appear below.

At present, STL does not have many texts or media resources to help you learn Latin on your own.  SUNY New Paltz and other SUNYs may offer courses in Latin.  Here are links to New Paltz's Schedule of Classes and to OpenSUNY courses.

Public Library systems may offer more resources, including links to online language learning.  You will need to be a member of those library systems to access those databses (members of the SUNY New Paltz community are not automatically members.) 

• Mid Hudson Library System databases
• Ramapo Catskill Library System databases
• New York Public Library databases

"Over a century ago, James Loeb announced the founding of the Loeb Classical Library and his intention to bring the written treasures of the ancient Greek and Roman world “within the reach of all who care for the finer things in life.” Now it gives us great pleasure to welcome you – old friends and newcomers, scholars, students, and general readers alike – to the digital Loeb Classical Library, and to invite you to enjoy its Greek and Latin texts alongside English translations..."  --General Editor
