Due to the strike called on Saturdays, it will not be possible to guarantee the opening of libraries nor that the usual services can be carried out.

The Biblioteca Clarà library is one of the main cultural facilities in the Tres Torres neighbourhood and, besides spreading culture, it organises activities for local people.

The library building is surrounded by motionless statues, standing still long before students and readers from the neighbourhood arrived. This is where the sculptor Josep Clarà had his workshop and created his bronze women figures now on display. The artist died in 1958 and left the building to Barcelona City Council, which turned it into a public library named after Clarà. Although it has evolved over the years, it remains faithful to the past: it contains the sculptor’s bibliography, as well as works by writers from Sarrià such as J. V. Foix, Joan Brossa and the Goytisolo brothers. Here, culture doesn’t just come from books read in silence. Numerous activities are also held on a regular basis on all sorts of subjects, such as talks on opera or activities for children. The schedule of activities is available on www.bcn.cat/bibclara.
