Guyana National Library allows you to enrich your knowledge with an abundance of books, historical documents, manuscripts, and phonograph recordings. Founded in 1909, this institution serves as a public lending library and encourages book lovers to nurture their various interests. Initially, a large iron grille stood between readers and the books. Written requests had to be passed to the librarian through a small window. Today, you can access the library's written material easily and quickly.

Lots of history can be found here dating back several decades. Rich with knowledge. There's a great air conditioned computer room as well to work and relax. Good storage lockers to keep your bag safe, you get a key and it is for free. Promotes a lot of learning and cool scientific projects being done by the kids at schools over here

I had plenty of good memories at the library got in trouble a lot here too! I used to spend my afternoon here with friends from school. I used to go to Sacred Hearts Primary School before it burned down on Christmas a long time ago. I think was the best place to spend my time as a child k hope other children benefit from it and doing reading circles. I’ll never forget! Please take care of it!
