The latter, inaugurated in 1978 next to the <\/span>Taial\u00e0 school<\/span><\/b>, functioned for years as the only municipal library in Girona.\u00a0 <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n The new building is named after <\/span>Ant\u00f2nia Adroher<\/span><\/b>, an educator and the <\/span>first woman councillor<\/span><\/b> on Girona City Council. Adroher is remembered for her commitment to the fight against <\/span>illiteracy<\/span><\/b>, the improvement of school conditions and pedagogical renewal. The choice of her name for this library is a tribute to her valuable work in the educational and social fields. <\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n Since its opening, the Ant\u00f2nia Adroher Library has established itself as a cultural reference.

Initially located in the Old Institute in <\/span>Carrer de la For\u00e7a<\/span><\/b>, the library passed through several locations before finding its current home.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/www.shuttle2sun.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/02\/Bibliotecas-con-encanto-Girona-Shuttle2Sun-1.png” alt=”Charming libraries in Girona” title_text=”Charming libraries in Girona” force_fullwidth=”on” align_tablet=”center” align_phone=”center” align_last_edited=”on|desktop” _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”0px||0px||false|false” custom_padding=”0px||0px||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row custom_padding_last_edited=”on|phone” _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_padding=”0px|||||” custom_padding_tablet=”|60px||60px|false|true” custom_padding_phone=”|40px||40px|false|true” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.17.4″ _module_preset=”default” width=”100%” custom_margin=”||||false|false” custom_padding=”||||false|false” hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” theme_builder_area=”post_content” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n In 1951, it moved to the old Hospice building in <\/span>Pla\u00e7a del Hospital<\/span><\/b>, built by order of Bishop Tom\u00e0s de Lorenzana, where it remained until work began on its modern headquarters in 2011.<\/span><\/p>\n Since December 2014, the Carles Rahola Library has been located in <\/span>Carrer Emili Grahit<\/span><\/b>, in the area of the old Casernes.
