Room No. 2, called the Library, holds all kinds of books and magazines related to footwear from different countries around the world.

In this room you will find a large collection of pantographs of different types and shapes to scale or number each series of patterns.

Also kept are the diplomas and medals awarded to people or entities related to the footwear sector and which have been the object of distinctions for their work in the footwear or auxiliary industry, such as the gold and silver medals obtained in 1902 by Rafael Romero in International Exhibitions.

We can contemplate the graphic testimonies of what were the first footwear fairs (documentation, bulletins and all kinds of merchandising, which are also conserved on the shelves of the showcases in this room).o, Mr. Gabriel Poveda "Leirbag".
