Juxtaposed against the ornately traditional buildings that compromise the entrance and side wing of the center is a massive, modern glass building that houses the current exhibitions.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Lesser known, however, is the library that is tucked away<br \/>\nactually right at the front entrance of the center. Expecting a grand and traditional library, I wasn&#8217;t sure if this small modern space was what my friend was talking about. However, through the glass windows, I could see a small room with a bookshelf, a table of computers occupied by headphone-clad young people, and others\u00a0lounging on cushions on the ground reading books. Curious to see if this was it, I entered.<\/p>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><\/h2>\n<h2 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The-Library\"><\/span>The Library<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/2016\/04\/CCCB-library-inside.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-67263 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/www.shbarcelona.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/en\/2016\/04\/CCCB-library-inside-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"CCCB library inside\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" \/><\/a>It turns out that in addition to being a place to get creative or study, this little library actually acts as an<br \/>\n<strong>archive for the CCCB<\/strong>&#8211; housing thousands of multimedia references on modern culture and bibliographic support for the various exhibitions that have been held there.\u00a0You can access all of the materials for free, which makes it a rich\u00a0source of information for any type of modern cultural research you may have to do.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The space is also super modern and cool, and those cushions that I saw people lounging on turned out to be quite large and comfortable. Additionally, the library offers <strong>free wi-fi<\/strong> and silence, making it an ideal place to study, work, write, read, and relax.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The archive is open Tuesday-Friday from 3:00 P.M.-8:00 P.M. and weekends and bank holidays 11:00 A.M.-8:00 P.M.
