The continuous widening of the book funds placed the problem of the insufficiency of the premises soon. After several hypotheses, the solution was identified destining the ex church of the Collegio dei Gesuiti (the College Of The Jesuits) at new library seat.

The reorganization project was entrusted to the Domenico Crosa and Mario Labò architects, who adopted a solution considered at the time in the vanguard (innovative): the church nave was horizontally divided to lodge the book store, established by a metal ant seismic and self-supporting structure of four floors and, in the superior part, the reading room.

 The new premises were inaugurated in the December 1935. Since 1975 the Library has been a peripheral institute of the Ministry for Cultural Heritage and Activities.
