After joining the Corps of Archivists, Librarians and Archeologists in 1935, she was assigned to the library of the ¿Instituto de Segunda Enseñanza¿ in Mahón, but she asked for a leave and she started to catalogue music for the National Palace Library, for free. In 1936, she rejoined the Corps and she was shortly assigned to the Spanish National Library and to the National Palace Library, where she worked with Matilde López Serrano y Teresa Andrés Zamora. During the Spanish Civil War, she was in charge of creating public libraries in the city of Madrid. After the war, she was ejected and, consequently, she was disqualified from every leading position or position of trust.
