It represents a library that brings together books, quotes and fragments from famous literary icons from the Lyon region or who worked there. The fresco of the City Library, painted by the CitéCréation collective in 1998, is mainly focused on the many booksellers who have gathered along the quay. The writings on the fresco in the Bibliothèque de la Cité also include the names of the authors and their works

The Fresque de la Bibliothèque de la Cité also forms an open-air repertoire of hundreds of different literary genres, including novels, poems, plays, thrillers or even comic strips related to Lyon and its surroundings... It brings together about 500 references to the works of great writers like Rabelais, Louis Labé, Voltaire, Reverzy, Frédéric Dard and even Annie Salager...
