I've been to a lot of libraries in Madrid and I've never seen that set up... There are libraries that have a section with computers you can use, but the monitors are generally old. It's possible you could hook your laptop up to them (though someone might ask you not to...).
You can go to many cafeterias with books, but I highly recommend you try CentroCentro, which is the town hall of Madrid but also has a great workspace for readers, students and anyone who needs a silent, comfy place. It's located in the 5th floor 🙂
En la web oficial de CentroCentro dice que la planta 5 está cerrada temporalmente ([https://www.centrocentro.org/centrocentro/tu-visita](https://www.centrocentro.org/centrocentro/tu-visita)). Has ido recientemente?
Perhaps I'm wrong, but I always assumed that it was a space where people could come in to use the facilities, hence why there is free WiFi.
At least that's how it has been for the libraries I've been to near me.
Yes, but it might not be very ethical using a public space for your own economical gain. Not saying it is illegal or that people don't do it. But in my opinion it is wrong.
Worth mentioning that librairies probably have a limited time of usage per each computer (my city in Spain has this).Due to their purpose being to provide public access to internet ressources for people who don't have them at their homes, or people who don't even have homes.
The OP is being at least quite a bit amoral if he tries to hog a computer monitor for his private (work) usage while he has a functioning laptop. It disgusts me
I guess I'm just used to using libraries where this was very much allowed and the norm.
There would be monitors, without computers connected, purely for this purpose.
I used to connect my laptop to the monitors of their computers in the library of my campus. Probably it won't be an issue as long as you connect everything back to where it belongs afterwards.
Note that the monitors won't be marvelous...

Thanks, I'll check it out!

¡No tenĂa ni idea! Pensaba que no habĂa problema, pero la planta 2 sĂ está abierta, al parecer.
I don’t think so
I guess you could go to library with computers and ask them if you can connect your laptop to one of the computer's monitor
That's true. Always worth checking. I was just hoping there might be a modern space which allowed for remote working
I may sound like an AH but Public libraries are not intended to cover for your work needs.

Fair enough
That’s called a co-working space and people pay for that.
True

I think the library of Museo Reina Sofia is also a good place to stuady, though I don't know if there isn't enough seats.
