Biblioteca Barceloneta-La Fraternitat‎

Biblioteca Barceloneta-La Fraternitat is a public library in the La Barceloneta neighborhood that sits in a modern building with reading rooms, study areas, and multimedia sections arranged across several floors. The facility includes computer stations and participates in the Barcelona Library Consortium system.

The library opened in a neighborhood that evolved from an 18th-century fishing village into a modern urban district in Barcelona. Today it serves as a cultural resource for a quarter with deep roots in working-class community life.

The library serves as a gathering place where neighbors come for readings and learning events throughout the year. It reflects the active community spirit of the district and provides space for residents to connect through books and ideas.

The library is free to access as a member of the Barcelona library system, and you can use computers and free internet while visiting. It helps to arrive during regular hours and look for the main entrance at street level when you visit for the first time.

The building holds a specialized collection on seafaring history and maritime culture that reflects the neighborhood's historical ties to fishing and the sea. This collection offers a distinctive window into the local past and reveals why this area was centered around the water for generations.
