The Library is of a general character, with particular attention to the publication of humanistic and artistic themes, as well as the ones of a local character. The heritage increases every year with the most important editorial news, whether in the works of the consultation sector, or works meant to be read onsite and for external loan, with particular attention to Italian and foreign narrative. Among the ancient collections there are: The Buonaccorsi collection (around 8,000 volumes – 15^th -19^th century) , the Castelbarco-Albani collection (around 1,400 volumes – 15^th – 18^th century), the ancient Library of the Courthouse of Macerata, (around 1,700 volumes and periodicals, of a juridical genre, - 18^th – 20^th century), the Balelli photographic collection (11,000 photographic sheets, sheet films and photos) that details the aspects of everyday life within the territory of Macerata from the beginning of twentieth century to the’60s. There is also an “autograph library” called Vinci, which houses a collection of hundreds of letters, notes and various cards with the autographs of famous personalities from Italian and local history. The Library offers users two thematic sections: the women’s section and the music section.
