Our Programs / Library Directory
First of its kind · Puerto Rico
No one knew how many libraries Puerto Rico had — or where they were. We’re building the first comprehensive directory of the archipelago’s libraries, so communities, funders, and policymakers can finally see, support, and strengthen the whole system.
Libraries that aren’t counted can’t be funded. Mapping every library — public, school, community, and academic — makes the invisible visible.
A shared directory lets librarians across the archipelago find each other, share resources, and coordinate — especially in disaster recovery.
Reliable data gives policymakers and funders the evidence to invest in Puerto Rico’s libraries as essential civic infrastructure.
The directory grows from on-the-ground visits and local partnerships — from Loíza to Culebra — combining field research with community knowledge to capture libraries no census has ever listed.
