THE BARCELONA COAC LIBRARY IS EXTENDING ITS OPENING HOURS
31/10/2022
With the aim of offering a better service and betting on architecture as a cultural pillar, the Board of Governors of the COAC and the Board of Directors of the Barcelona headquarters have decided to extend the opening hours of the Barcelona Library. In this way, from November 2, the space will remain open every day from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m., without the need to book an appointment.
The Barcelona COAC Library, with a century-old legacy, makes all the information available to registered architects when exercising their professional activity, both with updated documentation and with historical documentation. The range of services provided by the Library is very wide, including access to and consultation of a large source of valuable information, personalised attention to resolve bibliographic queries, loans and interlibrary loans and, finally, the reproduction of documents.

With a century-old history, it has a unique collection, which includes everything from a valuable collection of antiques to the latest bibliographical novelties acquired thanks to constant attention to national and international editions.
