The building

The building of San Jose Street, number 6, was an old manor house from the late nineteenth century, which was transformed and subdivided in a residential building with houses on each floor and premises on the ground floor in the mid-20th century. until, at the end of the last century, it became municipal ownership, installing the Retirement Home there.

The building, which will house the Library and part of the Municipal Archive, has an area of ​​2.091 square meters divided into a basement, three floors, terrace and a tower.

The works have been financed entirely by the Ministry of Development, with a budget of 1.495.204,68 euros, and executed by the company Edhinor.

The house, plant by plant

The basement houses the water tank of the fire extinguishing system and a warehouse to store the internal material.

On the ground floor we find the reception and a space for reading the press and rest. There is also the children's library, and in the back the auditorium, designed as a multipurpose wing where it is foreseen that there will be storytelling, talks or book presentations. Here is also a deposit for the Municipal Archive.

On the first floor there is a large open room where the library will be located. The walls will be covered with bookshelves, and tables will be set up throughout the room so that users can connect their electronic devices.

On the second floor there will be two more library rooms, designed to place reference books and reference works, which now have a smaller use, and, above all, more tables with an electrical connection. This plant is divided into two rooms to be able to give it a more private use: courses may be carried out punctually or the space may be dedicated to group work, among other things.

In this plant is also the restricted area of ​​the Municipal Arxiu (investigators room), a deposit of the Archive and another for the library, where to keep the books that have less use.

On the third floor is the terrace, which with time and adequacy, can be used for various activities such as book presentations or awards. Finally, in the tower will be the administration office of the library.

Here you can see a photo gallery of the interior of the building.

    Bon day
    Magnificent work and magnificent facilities
    But missing the nomenclature of the sections of the shelves on the day of the inauguration
    As well as the lack of conditioning of the room of the conservation funds since the shelves are not adequate
    Otherwise everything very well
