The National Library of Cape Verde (Portuguese: Instituto da Biblioteca Nacional e do Livro) is located in Praia, Cape Verde. The library opened in 1999. The library maintains the National Bibliography, contains the country's historical archives and the theses and dissertation bank and is a legal deposit.[1] It also serves as the public library of Praia, the country's capital.
Projects
In 2001, the library established the Institute of the National Library and the Book which aims to promote literacy, particularly among children and young adults. The project also works to disperse texts throughout the country and support national authors.[1]
The library also has a partnership with the country's municipal libraries to create National Network Public Libraries, a national bibliographic digital database and online public access catalog.[1]
