National Library of Tunisia

The National Library of Tunisia stands 70 meters tall with 14 floors on Boulevard 9 Avril, near the National Archives and Faculty of Social Sciences.

Founded in 1885 as the French Library, the institution initially served the colonial administration before transforming into Tunisia's central literary repository after independence.

The library maintains a collection of one million volumes, including manuscripts from the Islamic Golden Age, books, and periodicals that document Tunisia's literary heritage.

Researchers and publishers can access services such as legal deposit registration, ISBN allocation, photocopying, and digitization of materials within intellectual property guidelines.

The building incorporates Islamic architectural elements throughout its modern structure, making it one of the highest buildings in Tunisia's capital.
