National Library of Ivory Coast

National Library of Ivory Coast (French: Bibliothèque Nationale de Côte d'Ivoire) is located in Abidjan, Ivory Coast.[1]

It was closed in 2006 because of lack of funding and a new team led by Adjiman Nandoh Chantal has been at work since February 2008 and aims to restore and renew the institution. As of October 2009, 85% of the building is still closed. The only available section is the Children's Department, which opened back in 2008 thanks to the Mitsubishi corporation (cost : 31.492.000 CFA Francs)[2]
