=== Libraries ===
The city has 11 municipal libraries and there are three specialized centres:

* '''The Library Island''' has a capacity for 500 persons over its three floors, in addition to a study hall and more than 100 computer connections, and 20 Internet access points.
* '''La Biblioteca Simón Benitez Padilla''' specialises in geology, biology and ecology, and contains valuable bibliographical data from Simón Benitez Padilla, a notable advocate of the study of Canarian culture and former president of the Museum Canario.
* The '''Archives Joaquín Blanco''' contains 160 years of history of the city; the burning of the Houses Consistoriales (in 1845) destroyed the previous document repository.

A library is also situated on the first floor of [[Woermann Tower]].
