National Library of Aruba


The National Library of Aruba is the main library of Aruba. It is located in Oranjestad and holds more than 100,000 volumes.
BNA serves as both the national and the public library of Aruba. It was founded on August 20, 1949 as the island's public library and reading room. After Aruba gained its status aparte in 1986 the Aruba Public Library officially became the National Library of Aruba.
BNA has a public library branch in San Nicolas, and a separate building, Arubiana-Caribiana, housing the National and special collections, located in Oranjestad, near the main branch.
