The Bibliothèque Nationale du Cameroun (National Library of Cameroon) is the official national library of the Republic of Cameroon, located in Yaoundé. It operates under the Ministry of Arts and Culture (Ministère des Arts et de la Culture) and serves as the principal repository for the conservation and dissemination of national publications and cultural heritage materials.
The National Library was established in the post-independence era in alignment with Cameroon's broader cultural policy. It operates alongside the National Archives of Cameroon, both falling under the Ministry of Arts and Culture, though they are distinct institutions. The library is responsible for legal deposit of Cameroonian publications and serves as a reference and research library for the nation.
The National Library holds a collection of Cameroonian and international publications spanning multiple disciplines. Holdings include legal deposit materials, periodicals, government documents, and reference works. The library supports education, research, and cultural preservation for Cameroon's bilingual (French and English) population.
The library is open to researchers and the public at its Yaoundé location. For detailed access policies and hours, users are directed to contact the library or consult the Ministry of Arts and Culture website.
