National Library of Mozambique

The National Library of Mozambique contains extensive collections of books, documents, and periodicals within a Portuguese-influenced architectural structure on 25 de Setembro Avenue.

Established in 1961, the building originally functioned as the Office of Finance for the Colony of Mozambique before becoming the national repository of literature.

The institution maintains collections of Mozambican literature while organizing educational programs and exhibitions that showcase local authors and artists throughout the year.

The library offers reading rooms, study areas, digital catalogues, and specialized sections for children's literature, operating under four administrative departments.

The organizational structure follows Diploma Ministerial 103/92, which established specific units for technology, preservation, administration, and general management.
