FacebookLes Biblioteques, la Biblioteca
La Biblioteca de Catalunya va ser creada el 1907 per l’Institut d’Estudis Catalans amb l’objectiu de donar suport a la recerca. El seu model s’inspirava en les grans biblioteques nacionals dels estats nació d’Europa. L’any 1914, amb la Mancomunitat, la Biblioteca de Catalunya es va obrir al públic. Ocupava la planta superior de l’actual Palau de la Generalitat, que aleshores hostatjava la institució presidida per Prat de la Riba. La seva direcció va ser encarregada a Jordi Rubió i Balaguer. La Mancomunitat també va fundar l’Escola de Bibliotecàries (1915), que inicialment va ser dirigida per Eugeni d’Ors.
La Biblioteca de Catalunya va dur a terme la primera adaptació a l’Estat espanyol del sistema de classificació decimal. En els anys següents, la Biblioteca de Catalunya va anar adquirint col·leccions que la van convertir en un centre de recerca de primer nivell. La Mancomunitat va promoure, també, la creació d’una xarxa de biblioteques populars arreu de Catalunya, que s’havien de convertir en veritables centres de cultura.
