About
Elena Fortún is a public library in Madrid's Retiro neighbourhood with a wide collection including children's books, manga and less common titles. The building is spacious, though reviewers note that much of it is taken up by central stairs, resulting in limited seating and desks. The atmosphere is generally quiet, making it suitable for study. The library is wheelchair accessible and located near Retiro Park.
The library has tables with plug-ins for laptops and offers free internet access for visitors with a passport. However, availability of seats and desks can be unpredictable depending on when you visit. One reviewer noted the computer room lacks air conditioning, though the rest of the library is cooled.
