The National Library of Algeria (Arabic: المكتبة الوطنيّة الجزائريّة; French: Bibliothèque nationale d'Algérie) was first established in 1835 by the French colonial government, before becoming Algeria's national library when the country gained its independence in 1962. A new building for the library was constructed during the 1990s to house over a million volumes within the library's collection, which also allowed it to considerably develop its services. Algeria's scientific and technical information needs are ensured by two organizations, the Centre for Technical and Scientific Information and Technology Transfer, the Algerian equivalent of the INIS network, and the National Social and Economic Documentation Centre, established in 1971, which ensures the selection and indexing of automated documentation on the social and economic development of the country and the collection of statistical data.[2]

It has a floor area of 67,000 m2 (720,000 sq ft) and was designed to house more than 10 million books. It can accommodate more than 2,500 readers at a time. It is the legal deposit and copyright for Algeria. [citation needed]
