The Françoise-Sagan media library is a municipal library of the city of Paris created in 2015 on the site of the Saint-Lazare hospital, rue Léon-Schwartzenberg in the Porte-Saint-Denis district of the 10th arrondissement, near the Boulevard de Magenta and the Gare de l'Est. It is the second largest establishment of its kind in the French capital. The media library is the depository of L'Heure joyeuse's patrimonial collection. On the current site of the media library, a leprosarium was founded in the 12th century under the invocation of Saint-Ladre (also called Saint-Lazare), which is the origin of the Saint-Lazare enclosure. In 1632, the last prior gave the site to Vincent de Paul who established the Congregation of the Mission. This order, known as the Lazarists, founded a foundling work there. In 1792-1793, the Lazarists were dispersed in application of the Convention's decree on the suppression of religious orders. In 1794, during the Terror, another decree of the Convention recognized Saint-Lazare as a prison. It was ceded to the department of the Seine by an act of April 9, 1811. When the Saint-Lazare church was demolished in 1823, the prison administration undertook to reorganize all the buildings and the old prison building was razed around 18242. The count of Chabrol, prefect of the Seine, then entrusted Louis-Pierre Baltard with the construction of the new chapel and the infirmary. In 1834, the architect built the "special infirmary" to care for the women of the Saint-Lazare prison. This institution became the Maison de Santé Saint-Lazare around 1930 and continued to function as a treatment center for women until 1955, when the old prison was demolished around 1935. Around 1960, the prefecture ceased to administer the hospital, which then became part of the Assistance publique. The Saint-Lazare hospital closed permanently at the end of 1998. In 1999, after the departure of the public assistance, a vast project of redevelopment of the block, bounded by the rue du Faubourg-Saint-Denis, the rue de Paradis, the rue de Chabrol and the rue d'Hauteville, is initiated by the City of Paris: realization of cultural, sports and school facilities, enhancement of historical buildings and creation of a landscaped park. Work on the media library was launched in March 2012. The project management was ensured by the Direction du patrimoine et de l'architecture de la mairie de Paris in collaboration with the Direction des affaires culturelles. The architectural and technical project (PAT) was submitted to the chosen architectural firm, Stéphane Bigoni and Antoine Mortemard. The establishment opened its doors on May 16, 2015.
