The Library moved from its first location at Leonian Apostolic College (Collegio Leoniano) to its present location in the summer of 1911.
The Netter & Jacobi Company had modified the Palazzo Muti of the Marquises Papazzurri in 1910-1911.
The architect, Hermann Joseph Hürth of Aachen, roofed over the courtyard of the palazzo, transforming it into the Great Hall (Aula Magna), which is now known as Aula Pio X. This structural enhancement enabled the Library to move from Collegio Leoniano to its current location.
The four-story library was then built above the Great Hall and equipped with shelves from Art Nouveau.
