The '''Bibliothèque du Patrimoine de Clermont Auvergne Métropole''' is a [[public library]] in [[Clermont-Ferrand]], [[France]]. Among the sixteen libraries of [[Clermont Auvergne Métropole]] Library System, this library is dedicated to [[Auvergne]].

== History ==
During the French revolution confiscations were made from the religious communities and from emigrants living in the region.
First opened to the public in 1793, the municipal library was moved to the ''hôpital des frères de la Charité'' in 1800 and joined a new building to be part of the ''Bibliothèque municipale et universitaire'' in 1905. In 1994, the Heritage and Local History Library moves into a new building, rue Bardoux. It will be moved in 2024 in the listed 18th century Hôtel-Dieu hospital building to create a new 11000m2 Clermont Auvergne Metropolitan Library with an outdoor reading garden.<ref>{{harvp|ps=.|Stanton Williams|2019}}</ref><ref>{{harvp|ps=.|Niall Patrick Walsh|2019}}</ref>
