The Library has over 365,000 printed volumes, specialising in economics. It also offers access to numerous electronic journals and e-books, databases, specialised information portals, etc.
Although Banco de España staff are the main users of the Library, it is open to any individuals or institutions with an interest in its collections and services.
The Special Value Collection, comprising more than 17,000 items from the 15th-19th century, is an important part of the collection and of great interest for the study of economic history and law in Spain.
To commemorate International Women's Day, visitors can view an exhibition on the work of Harriet Martineau (1802-1876). She was the author of Illustrations of Political Economy, a series of stories that explained complex economic concepts in an accessible way. The exhibition will be open from March 6 to 31 during the Library's opening hours.
