Abstract
The Diputación de Valencia, throughout its history, has created institutions that fostered the valencian culture, in addition to supporting and promoting the valencian book, aware of its role as a promoter and disseminator of local identity. The provincial library, established in 1926, claimed to be an area of cultural diffusion, but the lack of a proper space and the diversification of projects prevented it becoming the seed of the future national library of Valencia.
