The Biblioteca Pública do INEP is the national library of Guinea-Bissau and it is located in Bissau.[1][2] It is also the biggest public library in the country and serves as library of the Universidade Amílcar Cabral.
It was founded in 1984 and inherited the library catalog of the colonial library in Portuguese Guinea.[2]
It is part of the national research institute Instituto Nacional de Estudos e Pesquisa (INEP).[1]
The american corner library at the INEP was opened in 2011. With its next embassy located in Dakar, Senegal, it is the only public American presence in the country.[2]
