The library building is surrounded by statues that were in place long before the neighbours came here to read and study. This is where the sculptor Josep Clarà had his workshop and created his bronze women figures now on display. The artist died in 1958 and left the building to Barcelona City Council, which turned it into a public library named after Clarà. Although it has changed over the years, it still contains the books of its former owner and other Sarrià-based writers, such as J. V. Foix, Joan Brossa and the Goytisolo brothers. Here, culture doesn’t just come from books read in silence. Numerous activities are also held on a regular basis on all sorts of subjects, such as talks on opera or activities for children. The schedule of activities is available on www.bcn.cat/bibclara.
