The National Library Service of Belize was founded in 1825. It is the legal deposit repository for Belize. It is headquartered in Belize City.

The Library is governed by a board of directors consisting of ten members, eight of which are appointed by the Minister of Education to represent a cross-section of Belizean society.

Belizean citizens may use the library upon application for a membership card, which costs $3. Non-citizens may obtain a card for $43, $40 of which is refundable upon departure from the country.[1]

The Library Service utilizes the Dewey Decimal Classification System.
