The aim of this paper is to describe the experience of cooperation between the Town Archive and the Public Library in Palafrugell (Baix Empordà, Catalonia) over the past 10 years. The transfer of these two services to new facilities (the library in 2011 and the archive in 2002), has meant an increase in staff and resources, and has made possible joint initiatives in response to shared user needs, raising resource efficiency and profitability. Most of the measures described do not require large investments of resources and are just a small sample of the cooperative projects taking place between facilities in a common sociodemographic context in Catalonia.
