Mário de Andrade Library, Public library and United Nations depository in República District, São Paulo, Brazil
The central library encompasses 3.3 million titles across multiple floors in an Art Deco building designed by French architect Jacques Pilon.
Founded in 1925 with 15,000 volumes from the Municipal Chamber collection, the library opened to the public in January 1926 on Sete de Abril Street.
The institution holds the second largest documentary collection in Brazil, preserving historical records and offering exhibitions about São Paulo's development through centuries.
