The earth tremor which shook Barga at the end of January has left one or two buildings in need of some structural work to make them safe again.
One of the those building affected was the public library in Barga Vecchia.
To allow this work to continue is the most efficient manner it was decided to move the library to temporary quarters until the work is finished.
That move, which involved the transportation of over 40,000 books has now been completed and the new library is open for business.
The Biblioteca Fratelli Rosselli can now be found inside the Villa Gheradi just outside Barga Vecchia.
The library, which also houses the collection of work by Vincenzo Gonnella has a printing and photocopier section and internet point and is open every afternoon Monday to Friday from 2 pm until 7 pm and from 9 am to midday Tuesdays and Thursdays.
