Library is a treasure house of books and is capable of meeting almost all the
information needs of people. Libraries are temples of knowledge, education/learning,
where generations of young and old get enlightenment on the achievements of mankind.
Goa can be legitimately proud of having one of the oldest libraries in India as well as in
Asia which has enriched Goan cultural and educational life.
1. Krishnadas Shama Goa State Central Library:
The State Central Library occupies the pride of the place among the public libraries
in India, especially for its collection on Goan History and Culture. The Central Library is
the oldest Public Library in India established on 15th September 1832 by Vice Roy Dom
Manuel de Portugal e Castro as `Publica Livaria`. Four years earlier to Calcutta Public
Library, 1836. (The National Library of India) It was changed to Bibliotheca Publica
and enriched with bibliographical repository t1ransferred from the Convents run by
religious orders, which were suppressed. However, the collection on Mathematics and
Military Science was left in Academia and books on Administrative and Legislative
matters were transferred to Secretariat Library. On 15th
February 1897 the status of
library was raised to that of a ‘National Library’ and renamed as `Bibliotheca Nacional de
Nova Goa`. In March 1925, it was annexed to the academic and cultural institution
(Instituto Vasco da Gama) and designated as “Biblioteca Nacional Vasco da Gama” by
Decree Law no.38684 dated 18th
March 1952. Under this Decree the privilege of
`Deposito Legal` (Delivery Act) was made applicable to this library by virtue of which
the library received all publication from Portugal and her overseas Provinces. From
September 1959, the Bibliotheca was detached from the Instituto Vasco-da-Gama and put
under the administrative control of ‘Servicos de Instruccao e Saude’ (Education and
Health Services); it was then renamed as “Biblioteca Nacional de Goa”. The collection
of pre-liberation period consists mainly of books and journals in Portuguese, French,
Latin, English and very few books in local language like Konkani and Marathi. The total
pre-liberation collection was about 37,100 volumes.

The library is an important center for Indo-Portuguese studies as well as
Portuguese colonial history. It is also a repository of Indo Portuguese Literature. The
other important collection is of “Boletim Official” (Official Gazette) dating since 1837
till date.
Further, State Central Library is acting as a repository of books published in State
under the provision of the Delivery of Books Act, 1954. To support the library
movement the Government of Goa has passed and enacted the Goa Public Libraries Act,
1993.
