The Institute of Ilerdenc Studies (IEI) has incorporated this Tuesday the oldest piece in its library with the donation of the incunabulum Philosophia pauperum, printed in Lleida around the year 1485 by the typographer Enric Botel. The work, an extraordinary bibliographical rarity, becomes part of the legacy of the bibliophile Ramon Areny Batlle after his great-nephews, Maria Àngels and Àngel Boixareu Carrera, have ceded it to the institution.

Virginia Cierco has been managing the San Pablo - Santa Cruz Library in the heart of Barcelona's Raval district for three years. She began her internship at a high school on Meridiana Avenue, where the library was a rather dreary room. Now she dreams of expanding the facility, located next to the Library of Catalonia, and approaches each day with passion.
