Fodor's Review:
Near the foot of Cerro Santa Lucía is the block-long classical facade of the National Library. With more than 3 million titles, this is one of the largest libraries in South America. The vast interior includes arcane collections. The second-floor Sala José Toribio Medina, which holds the most important collection of prints by native peoples in Latin America, is well worth a look. The three levels of books, reached by curved-wood balconies, are lighted by massive chandeliers.
