Júlio Teixeira Municipal Library is the central library of Vila Real, a municipality on northern Portugal of about 50 000 inhabitants.
It is a two-storey T-shaped building. One of its main features is the entrance tunnel which leads to the atrium.
The entrance hall and the multipurpose room are located on the upper floor of the west-east wing. The adult’s lending and multimedia areas are located on the upper floor of the north-south wing, and the children's room on the ground floor.

Ílhavo City Library is located in the remains of the Manor Visconde de Almeida, a noble house from the 17th-18th century, later transformed and demolished. From the original building only the main façade, oriented southeast, and the chapel, both in ruins, were left.

Almeida Garrett Library, named after a Portuguese 19th century writer, is Oporto's main library. Located in Oporto’s Cristal Palace Gardens, the building houses the library, an exhibitions gallery and an auditorium.
