Zoo The library was created by its first Director, the naturalist Edward Holmberg Ladislas in 1888 and opened to the public by the record 87.582/946 on 1 September 1946. Was named "Domingo Faustino Sarmiento" in homage to the creator of the ride. It consisted of 12,000 volumes including books, encyclopedias and magazines.
The AGCBA informed by her research that the dismantling of the library began in 1984 with different transfers poorly documented. In turn, the DGCyP (Address General of Culture and Education) says that there was a first delivery of books in boxes "without any documentation, or inventory." Also a publication is also confirmed by the daily La Nacion 02/06/1903 asserting, "some 300 boxes of books at the Zoo 3002, no inventory, came at the hands of the authorities of the municipal libraries, were sent to the Teatro Los Andes ( Leiva 4249), in Chacarita, a place used as a deposit. " In this same journal, Juan Enrique Romero, First concession Zoo Director General said: "During my term did not come out nor entered any book, but the paradox here is that Romero closed the public library when the zoo was even municipal.
Bertonatti Claudio, Director of the Journal of the World Wildlife Fund, said "the library disappeared on the last day he worked as director Dr. Juan Enrique Romero. Romero's argument was that they were carrying documents to a municipal agency.. "
Bertonatti filed a complaint over the disappearance of the library before the National Commission of Monuments and Sites, in the Ministry of Culture of the Nation and to the Legislature by the Government of the City of Buenos Aires, and said, "any three I replied. "

Marcela Diaz, head of the Education Area of \u200b\u200bthe zoo, said they recovered 7,000 copies of the 12,000, and in need of a restoration of two years for aggravated conditions that were found.
