After a few years, received funding from the Region of Sicily, began the work of the new premises, which, according to the idea of the designer, not to be used only to the Library, but also a Center of cultural services. The new premises were inaugurated in December 1989 with an Exhibition of paintings of the Artist of Comiso, Biagio Brancato, submitted by fellow writer Gesualdo Bufalino and with the presence of many painters of the province among which an Artist of international renown: Piero Guccione. The Library has been used by municipalities for debates, conferences, exhibitions of paintings and photographs promoted by various cultural associations of the Santa Croce. Some of these demonstrations have participated eminent personalities like Severino Santiapichi, Judge famous for having chaired the Moro process and the process of the assassination attempt against Pope John Paul II, Ali Agca. The Library was born without bequests and was enriched, year after year, with the financial commitment of the Municipality, with small but significant gifts from people and books sent as a gift from Sicily through the various Superintendent who have followed over time (Catania, Siracusa and Ragusa).

The Library is currently allocated on a provisional premises on the ground floor of "Arezzo" Palace, historic building, built between the XV and XVI century. In one large room are arranged shelves with books and five tables with 20 seats reading.
