The Louis-Nucéra Library is the central library of Nice and a municipal library with regional vocation. Inaugurated in Nice, it is named in honor of the writer Louis Nucéra, who was born in 1928 and died in 2000. The library is built next to the Museum of Modern and Contemporary Art on the bed of the Paillon.
The site consists of two distinct buildings: the library itself and the Tête Carrée, designed by Sacha Sosno, which houses the administrative services of the library. The complex also includes a videotheque, a music library, an exhibition space, and an auditorium. At the entrance, a plaque presents a quotation by Louis Nucéra, linking the building to the writer whose name it bears.
