The National Libraries-World Wide
A national library is specifically
established by the government of a nation to serve as the pre-eminent
repository of information for that country. Unlike public libraries, they
rarely allow citizens to borrow books. Often, they include numerous rare,
valuable, or significant works; such as the Gutenberg Bible. National libraries
are usually notable for their size, compared to that of other libraries in the
same country. Some national libraries may be thematic or specialized in some
specific domains, beside or in replacement of the 'main' national library.
Some national entities which are not
independent but who wish to preserve their particular culture, have established
a national library with all the attributes of such institutions, such as legal
deposit.
Many national libraries cooperate
within the National Libraries Section of the International Federation of
Library Associations and Institutions (IFLA) to discuss their common tasks,
define and promote common standards and carry out projects helping them to
fulfil their duties. National libraries of Europe participate in The European
Library. This is a service of The Conference of European National Librarians
(CENL).
The list below is organized
alphabetically by country, according to the list of sovereign states,
including, at its end an 'other states' section for non-sovereign states. A
"♦" indicates a national library of a constituent country or
dependent state. It is listed under the sovereign state which governs that
entity. Sovereign states are listed even when they have no national library or
when the existence and name of a national library could not yet be ascertained.
Other states, constituent countries and dependent states are listed only if
they have a national library.
