Brief history One of the eight libraries initially set up in the

country in 1921, then called the Camarines Sur Branch Library. Coordinated other libraries in the province

Nearly abolished by the provincial board a few years after the city gained its charter.

Management handed over to the city government in 1954, was reorganized and renamed the Naga City Public Library
