List of national and state libraries
Below is a list of national libraries.
The list below is organized alphabetically by country, according to the list of sovereign states, including, at its end, an 'other states' section for non-sovereign states. A "♦" indicates a national library of a province or state, or constituent country or dependent state . It is listed under the sovereign state which governs that entity. Sovereign states are listed even when they have no national library or when the existence and name of a national library could not yet be ascertained. Other states, constituent countries, and dependent states are listed only if they have a national library.
