The Biblioteca Nacional de Panamá (in English: National Library of Panama), in Panama City, is the legal deposit and copyright library for Panama.[1]
The library opened its doors on July 11, 1942, in a room located between 5th and 6th streets, adjacent to the presidency.[citation needed] In January 1961, the venue was moved to a building which had previously served as the Ricardo H. Newman College. On September 24, 1987, the library moved to Memorial Park Omar Torrijos, on Avenida Belisario Porras.[citation needed]
