Do we need a library card to visit?

No. Anyone can walk in to read, browse or use the children's area. A free library card is only needed if you want to borrow books or films to take home.

Are there storytimes or activities for kids?

Yes. The library runs a regular program of storytimes (l'hora del conte) and family workshops, usually in Catalan. Dates change month to month, so check the activity calendar on the library's website before you go.

Is it stroller-friendly?

Yes. The building is modern and step-free with lifts between floors, so it's easy to get around with a stroller, and the children's area is on the ground level.
