Andorra National Library, National library in Encamp, Andorra
The Andorra National Library is a public library in Encamp, housed in a converted former hotel building. Its collection spans books, periodicals, audio materials, and digital resources spread across several floors.
The library was founded in 1930 by an Andorran association that gathered donated books from different sources. Over time it became the country's national ISBN agency, taking on the official role of recording all publications produced in Andorra.
The library is housed in a former hotel and holds books, magazines, and digital materials connected to Andorran life. Visitors can find works in Catalan, the country's official language, alongside publications by local authors.
The library sits in the center of Encamp and is easy to reach on foot from the town's main streets. Visiting on a weekday is a good idea if you want full access to the reading rooms and the digital archive.
Since 1998, the library has published a yearly catalog listing every new book and document produced in Andorra that year. This makes it the only complete record of the country's literary output and a reference point for anyone studying Andorran publishing.
