National Library of Luxembourg

The National Library of Luxembourg (Bibliothèque nationale du Luxembourg [biblijɔtɛk nɑsjɔnal dy lyksɑ̃buʁ], Luxembourgish: Nationalbibliothéik Lëtzebuerg, Nationalbibliothek Luxemburg [natsi̯oˈnaːlbiblioˌteːk ˈlʊksm̩bʊʁk]), abbreviated as BnL, is Luxembourg's national library. It was founded in its current form in 1899, as a result of a series of different institutions originating in the 18th century. It is located in the Kirchberg district of Luxembourg City. The BnL is a public establishment under the supervision of the Ministry of Culture. The BnL holds 1.8 million printed items, making it the largest library in Luxembourg. The library's collections include both print and digital documents, such as books, manuscripts, journals, newspapers, magazines, databases, maps, stamps, prints, drawings and scores by Luxembourgish composers. Roughly three quarters of its contents, particularly scientific resources, come from abroad. As a legal deposit library, the BnL receives copies of books and other printed and digital documents published in Luxembourg. It is also the country's national ISBN, ISSN, ISMN and ISNI agency.
