Libraries in Barcelona, a local service.

The library network facilitates free access for all citizens to information and knowledge, and encourages reading. It does this through its collection and its programming, plural and open, connected with other cultural, social and educational agents in the territory. Libraries are facilities that look to the future, with a strong commitment to access, training and the use of new technologies.

From the point of view of professionalism, the staff of each library carries out a task of guidance and selection. It offers personalized attention in the search, to accompany users, when they do not know what they are looking for or do not know where to look for it.


Open spaces and quality

The library is a public social centre, at a local level, open to everyone. It stimulates the relationship between users and participation in activities. Its charter of services guarantees democratic access to information, the transmission of knowledge, training, continuing education, self-training and leisure. It is an active, stimulating, energizing space, a cultural point of reference for the territory and able to adapt to the demands of the citizens and advance in the detection of informative, training and cultural needs.
