<span>Muchas instituciones culturales carecen de una política activa para dar a conocer a la ciudadanía sus colecciones, productos y servicios. No es ese el caso de la Biblioteca Valenciana Nicolau Primitiu que en los últimos años ha ofertado una amplia gama de visitas guiadas (culturales, especializadas, teatralizadas, virtuales) para mostrar tanto la biblioteca como el Monasterio de San Miguel de los Reyes, edificio declarado BIC en 2008 pero situado en una zona periférica y degradada de la ciudad de Valencia. En el estudio se analizan este tipo de visitas, los resultados alcanzados hasta ahora y las posibles mejoras a incluir.</span>

The government of José I tried to promote access to books, in the wake of the French revolutionaries. This policy would materialize in a new Royal Library and the creation of public libraries, with books coming from convents and monasteries now suppressed.

It is studied the project of creating a public library in the city of Valencia from the libraries of the convents and monasteries suppressed during the Liberal Triennium. It is analyzed the disentailment legislation and its application in library matters and the purpose and nature of this new public library promoted by the Sociedad Económica de Amigos del País de Valencia, which would have been directed by the scholar Jaime Villanueva. The lack of resources of all kinds and the centralist vision of the Government of Madrid, for whom overrode the interests of the Biblioteca Nacional de Cortes, suspended the project. The return to absolutism postponed it until 1835.

Se examina la política bibliotecaria seguida por el primer liberalismo en la región valenciana durante la primera mitad del siglo XIX. Se analizan el Plan Ge-neral de Bibliotecas de 1813, los distintos procesos desamortizadores (1812, 1820 y 1835) y su culminación en un modelo de Biblioteca Pública Provincial y Universita-ria que se generalizará en 1838 al resto de España. La realidad política y material en que se desarrolló dicho proyecto supuso su doble fracaso como centros conservadores del patrimonio y como centros de promoción de lectura. ; ABSTRACT: It is examined the library policy followed by the first liberalism in the Valencian region during the first half of the 19th century. It is analyzed the Plan General de Bibliotecas of 1813, the different disentailing processes (1812, 1820 and 1835) and its culmination in a model of public, provincial and university library that will become general in 1838 to the rest of Spain. The political and material reality in which this project was developed supposed its double failure as preservative centres of the patrimony and as centres for reading promotion.
