The Library’s services are extensive, encompassing training courses and workshops, a reading club ("Club de Lectura Leyend@”), loans of laptops and e-readers, bookcrossings, competitions, access to prestigious international journals and databases, exhibitions, documentation tools, and personalised services for people with disabilities.
