National Library of Panama
The Biblioteca Nacional de Panamá (in English: National Library of Panama) is the legal deposit and copyright library for Panama. The library opened its doors on July 11, 1942 in a room located between 5th and 6th street; adjacent to the presidency. In January 1961 the venue was moved to a building which previously served as the Ricardo H. Newman College. On September 24, 1987, the library moved to Memorial Park Omar Torrijos, on Avenida Belisario Porras.
