    Yes, totally. And since it's a library, the rooms are all silent. I recommend it; back in the day I went there to study loads of times.

    Si, re. Y como es biblioteca, son todas salas silenciosas. Yo la recomiendo, en su momento he ido un monton de veces a estudiar ahi

  3. 03Biblioteca Leopoldo Lugones

    library2215 Calle La Pampa★ 4.7Wi‑FiPowerWork 100

    Biblioteca Leopoldo Lugones is a public library in Buenos Aires with three floors of reading and working space. The lower floor houses a small café and book collection; the upper floors are quieter with tables spread out for studying.

    Other libraries, like the Lugones in Belgrano and the Casa de la Lectura y Escritura near Cid Campeador, are veeery quiet. The Lugones is great, though it only opens on weekdays. The Casa de la Lectura opens weekdays, weekends and holidays.

    Otras biblios como la Lugones de Belgrano, la Casa de la Lectura y Escritura cerca del cid campeador son muuuuy tranquis. La Lugones es buenísima, abre igual solo los días de semanas. La casa de la lectura abre dias de semana, findes y feriados
