The Amazonas Public Library is located in the center of the city of Manaus, the capital of Amazonas. Founded in 1871, it is the oldest public library in the state and the largest in terms of collections.
The library contains rare works, old periodicals, and academic materials. The current building, located on Barroso Street, on the corner with Sete de Setembro Avenue, was constructed between 1904 and 1912. It was almost destroyed by a fire in 1945., and was rebuilt two years later. It received a partial restoration in 1985 and a more complete one in 2013, when it reopened to the public.
The second floor houses the Lourenço Pessoa Hall, has over 30,000 newspapers that date back to 1886, and the Maria Luiza de Magalhães Cordeiro Hall, which houses the Gibiteca, with comics, and the Telecenter, where visitors can use the internet to study.
