National Library Service of Malawi, National library in Lilongwe, Malawi.
The National Library Service of Malawi is a national library system that distributes materials across the country. It offers reading rooms, study spaces, and a collection of books to make knowledge and education accessible.
The system was founded in 1967 through an Act of Parliament and functions as the national legal deposit and copyright institution. This establishment made it the official body for preserving the country's written heritage.
The collection preserves traditional stories and local narratives passed down through generations. Visitors can connect with this part of the country's cultural memory when exploring the materials.
Locations are spread across the country, including multiple branches in the capital. Visitors should know that the branches are open to everyone and offer free resources for education and research.
The network includes satellite branches that were specifically built to reach communities previously without access to books. This expansion shows how the institution actively works to bring education where it is needed most.
