The Barcelona city council has coordinated with Banc dels Aliments, the main foodbank in Catalonia, to habilitate 14 libraries in the city to collect food and essential products to send to the areas in Valencia affected by the floods

These 14 libraries are located in the ten districts of Barcelona and will be open from November 4 to Friday 8 during normal operating hours.  

Preferred products should be packaged and include: milk, canned goods and shelf-stable meals (legumes, canned fish etc.), children's food (porridge, milk powder, canned purees), as well as baby diapers and feminine hygiene products.
