Amazonas State Public Library, Public library in Central Manaus, Brazil.

The three-story neoclassical building contains multiple reading halls, specialized collections, and a wrought iron staircase imported from Glasgow, Scotland.

Founded in 1871 and operating since 1910, the library experienced a fire in 1945 that destroyed 30,000 books before reopening in 1947 with 45,000 volumes.

The second floor displays a notable painting titled 'A Redempção do Amazonas' depicting the abolition of slavery in the Amazon region.

Located at Rua Barroso 57, the library opens Monday through Friday from 9 AM to 3 PM, offering access to over 97,000 books across different collections.

The ceiling features portraits of four influential figures: Teixeira de Freitas, Antônio Gonçalves Dias, Antônio Carlos Gomes, and Johannes Gutenberg.
