Almost all of them. The 7 upcoming programs on this page are public library events in Barcelona; most need no booking and no library card. Workshops with limited places say so on the official page.
Yes. Most people at library book clubs, talks and language cafés come alone, there is a host who starts the conversation, and nobody asks why you are there. Arrive a few minutes early.
Usually it is free: bring photo ID and a proof of address (a rental contract or a utility bill) to any branch. Rules differ per library, so check the branch page before you go.
