Josep Laporte Library

About the Library

The Josep Laporte Library of the Foundation for Health and Ageing of the UAB was established as the result of the merger of three medical libraries:

  •  the library of the Academy of Medical Science of Catalonia and the Balearic islands
  • the library of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau
  • the library of the Teaching Unit of the Hospital de Sant Pau of the Universitat Autònoma de Barcelona.
Located in the  Casa Convalescència, within the site of the Hospital de la Santa Creu i Sant Pau, the library opened its doors to the public on 2 May 2000.
