Public Library of La Plata National University

The central library spans multiple floors with reading rooms, research spaces, and an extensive collection of academic resources supporting university programs.

The institution started as a provincial public library in 1884 under Francisco P. Moreno's initiative before joining the National University of La Plata in 1905.

The library maintains a collection of 500 Cervantes-related volumes, including the oldest Spanish edition of Don Quixote, recognized by UNESCO in 2018.

Students and researchers can access five public reading rooms, a periodicals section with 3,600 publications, and specialized databases through the library's digital catalog.

The library houses historical newspaper archives containing 1,080 titles from the 19th and 20th centuries, documenting Argentina's social and political evolution.
