Rare book library of Clermont Auvergne Métropole, Heritage library in Clermont-Ferrand, France.

The Rare Book Library of Clermont Auvergne Métropole contains 170,000 volumes across 3,700 linear meters, including manuscripts, books, periodicals, and engravings.

Following the French Revolution, the municipal library opened in 1793 with collections from religious communities and relocated to the hospital of Charité in 1800.
