Library

The Pere Tarrés Foundation Library specialises in the Social Sciences and topics related to social and socio-educational work, environmental education and leisure education in particular. It is a live space full of resources, tools and means for studying, documenting and formulating all kinds of social and educational projects for students, teachers and professionals in the sector. The Library’s origins date back to the 1970’s, when it was a School of Recreation service which provided support for teachers and facilitated material in the fields of education and leisure education. The library underwent a profound change in 1992, with the inception of Social Education studies: its collection grew when the Library acquired the materials needed for these university studies. The process of computerising the catalogue was undertaken at the same time and finally, it moved to its current site on carrer Carolines. ICESB and the PTF Library merged in 2001, when part of the former’s activities was integrated into the Training Institute’s action framework. The Library collection currently has close to 60,000 books and 1,000 different national and international magazines.
