The National Library of Algeria (in Arabic: المكتبة الوطنيّة الجزائريّة) has been in existence since Independence in the 1960s and it was modeled after a large administrative library that was established in 1835 by the French colonial authorities. A new building constructed in the 1990s to house the million or so volumes of the national library also enabled the library to considerably develop its services.
