The collection includes one million volumes, with texts dating from the 10th century, extensive Arabic literature, and documents about Saint Rosalia of Palermo.

Located at Via Vittorio Emanuele 429, the library opens Monday through Thursday from 8:30 AM to 7:00 PM and Friday from 8:30 AM to 2:00 PM.
