National Library of East Timor, National library and archives in Ai-Tarak Laran quarter, Dili, East Timor

The National Library of East Timor is the national library and national archive of East Timor. Its building has been under construction since 2011 in Ai-Tarak Laran, a quarter in the Suco of Kampung Alur in the Dom Aleixo Subdistrict of Dili. Groundbreaking took place in 2017, and construction began in 2022.

The institution was created by a government resolution in 2009. Groundbreaking for its own building in Ai-Tarak Laran, in the Kampung Alur suco of Dili's Dom Aleixo subdistrict, took place in 2017, but construction only began in 2022 and the building remains under construction. By 2014 the catalog held 2,500 items donated by the National Library of Portugal.

The institution's holdings are built mainly through international donations; by 2014 the catalog held 2,500 items given by the National Library of Portugal. The library serves as both national library and national archive, so its task is to gather the country's written records as well as books.

The building in Ai-Tarak Laran, in the Kampung Alur suco of Dili's Dom Aleixo subdistrict, is still under construction, so there are no reading rooms to visit yet. Groundbreaking took place in 2017 and construction began in 2022. Until the building is finished, the institution's holdings exist mainly as a catalog rather than as a public collection on site.

A large part of the founding collection was built through direct support from the National Library of Portugal, which donated numerous materials. This connection is still visible today in the Portuguese-language holdings, which form a notable part of the library's shelves.
