National Library of São Tomé and Príncipe, National library in São Tomé, São Tomé and Príncipe.
The National Library of São Tomé and Príncipe occupies a modern building in the capital city, housing extensive collections of books and historical documents.
Founded in 2002 with Chinese financial support, the institution succeeded the former town hall library which contained approximately 5,000 books before the country's independence.
The library maintains collections in Portuguese language and coordinates public libraries across the nation while promoting reading initiatives among communities.
Located in central São Tomé, the library provides study areas, internet access, and professional assistance for research activities during regular business hours.
In 2015, the library initiated a partnership with the University of Minas Gerais to distribute Portuguese literature to children in remote villages across the islands.
