Libraries in Barcelona?

Hi berlin2
I've moved your post to the Barcelona forum section.
I'm not sure what books you are referring to (for studies or for leisure?)...
I would highly doubt that they have books in English but then again I don't know.

Oh and hello and welcome
Just a country girl looking for a new life
It's worth it to get a library card at the city libraries, but mostly for dvds and cds. I don't think you'll find many English books.
You can pay a nominal fee and get a card at the north american institute (I think that's what it's called) on Via augusta. They have a pretty decent english library, lots of literature, etc.
You can also go to any of the university libraries, though checking out books probably isn't possible. I used to just sit there and read.
Hibernian is the best second hand bookshop.
