Tips

• The city’s library-finder page (valencia.es/cas/bibliotecas/encuentra-tu-biblioteca) lists all 32 municipal library branches by name (e.g., D’Aiora, Benicalap, Russafa — Nova Al-Russafí, El Cabanyal — Casa de la Reina, etc.), each linking to its own InfoCiudad page with address/hours. A separate hours page (valencia.es/cas/bibliotecas/horarios) links to an official 2026 PDF calendar, 'Calendario y horarios 2026' (https://www.valencia.es/documents/d/guest/20260224-horarios-bibliotecas-2026-cast, dated 24-02-2026), which covers each branch’s specific opening hours, Saturday openings, and August/holiday closures. One known closure: Biblioteca del Carme — Carles Ros is closed indefinitely for building renovation.
• Individual branch addresses were not extracted for all 32 branches (each requires opening its own InfoCiudad page) — close this gap fully in a future pass by reading each branch page or the PDF calendar.
