I would actually rephrase the sentence:
"The library was created to support...."
"The library was created to support...."
Note from asker:
| I like your suggestion, Charles. The said library belonged to the colegio de San Luis Gonzaga (a Jesuit college) in El Puerto de Santa María (Cádiz) |

Note from asker:
| Thanks, Simon. Is 'emerged' better than 'appeared'? |
| It's a specific library, actually. Cheers. |
