The Library's holdings contain more than 80,000 documents accessible through the online catalog.  

The Library has a wide collection of multidisciplinary nature, up-to-date and in any type of support. So you can find books, magazines, newspapers, CDs, CD-ROMs, DVDs, databases, maps and scores, among other materials.  
The majority of this general fund is freely accessible and is located in the different rooms of the library. The less used fund, as well as the special and more valuable works, are located in the warehouse.  

The books are arranged according to a classification system that distributes all subjects of knowledge into 10 large groups:  

0. General works  
1. Philosophy / Psychology  
2. Religion / Theology  
3. Social sciences  
4. Philology / Languages  
5. Pure sciences  
    Mathematics, physics, chemistry, biology...  
6. Applied sciences  
    Medicine, cooking, IT...  
7. Art / Games / Sports  
8. Literature  
9. History and geography  

Some of these library documents do not follow this order, as they gather groups of documents by related subjects; these groupings are called centers of interest, such as Kitchen, Comic, Garden...[Centers of Interest]
