Tucked away on the first floor of the Centro Cultural Príncipe de Asturias, the Biblioteca Pública Municipal Ciudad Lineal isn’t just a building filled with books. It’s a living testament to Madrid’s commitment to knowledge and community. The Biblioteca Pública Municipal Ciudad Lineal first opened its doors on March 22, 1993. The inauguration was a grand affair, attended by Mayor José María Álvarez del Manzano and the then-Councilor of Culture, Esperanza Aguirre. The library replaced a smaller one housed within a residential building. The Biblioteca Pública Municipal Ciudad Lineal was specifically built to serve the burgeoning community of Ciudad Lineal. It has undergone one expansion, adding 50 square meters in 2004, which altered its internal layout. Today, the Biblioteca Pública Municipal Ciudad Lineal boasts a collection of over 48,000 items. This includes almost 39,000 books and pamphlets, over 7,600 DVDs, and over 1,600 CDs. The library also offers access to electronic resources, periodicals, and even a small collection of maps. Imagine browsing through the shelves, discovering a hidden literary gem. Perhaps you’ll settle into one of the 68 seats in the main reading room or the 30 seats in the children’s area. Maybe you’ll grab a magazine in the periodicals section, which has seating for 16.
