Since the 94’ academic year, the Library of the Department of Physical Education and Sport Science has been operating as an annex of the University of Thessaly Library . The Library was initially housed in a building in Matsopoulos Park and in July 1999 was transferred to the new Department premises in Karyes. The library collection includes books, conference proceedings, theses, information material (e.g. dictionaries, encyclopedias), audiovisual material (e.g. cd-roms, dvds, videocassettes) and magazines. This material covers areas such as psychology, physical education and training, sports, medical sciences, administration and organization, nutrition, literature.
