The Puerto Rico National Library (Spanish: Biblioteca Nacional de Puerto Rico) is the national library of Puerto Rico. The library was created by Joint Resolution No. 44 of 1967, which was later repealed and superseded by Act No. 188 of 2003.^[1] The library is ascribed to the Institute of Puerto Rican Culture.

The Library shares its nineteenth century classical building, (at one time the Bacardi Rum flagship factory), with the General Archives of Puerto Rico. The Library's specialized collections include: the Dominican Collection of leather-bound religious books dating from the 16th-19th centuries, the Eugenio Maria de Hostos Collection, which includes 1,300 digitized manuscripts, and the private collection of Concha Meléndez, literary critic and former professor at the University of Puerto Rico.^[2]
