National Library of Seychelles
The National Library of the Seychelles  a library located in Victoria, Mahé, Seychelles. It is the legal deposit and copyright library for Seychelles. History 
The Seychelles National Library's predecessor, the Carnegie Library, opened in 1910. It was funded by the Carnegie Trust Fund and managed by a Board of Trustees. In 1970, the Department of Education took over and renamed it the Carnegie Public Library, leading to the dissolution of the board. In 1978, the Carnegie Public Library became the National Library of Seychelles. The following year, it moved to a newly renovated building on State House Avenue. The British Council supported the library by providing a grant for new shelves, appointing an English librarian, and expanding the collection. Restoration 
In August 2013, the National Library building, which accommodated both the National Archives and the library, was closed due to a fungal infestation. To address this issue, the Green Island Construction Company was awarded a renovation contract worth $5.6 million (SCR75 million). Presently, the National Archives are located at Maison Helena on Ile du Port, an artificial island adjacent to the capital city of Victoria. See also
