The Ponce Municipal Library, formally, Biblioteca Municipal Mariana Suárez de Longo (English: Mariana Suárez de Longo Municipal Library), and also known as Biblioteca Publica de Ponce (English: Ponce Public Library), is the library system of the municipality of <a href="Ponce%2C_Puerto_Rico" title="Ponce, Puerto Rico">Ponce, Puerto Rico</a>. Founded in 1870, it is the oldest public library in Puerto Rico.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> The system has its main library on <a href="Miguel_Pou" title="Miguel Pou">Miguel Pou Boulevard</a>, in barrio <a href="San_Ant%C3%B3n" title="San Antón">San Antón</a>, in the city of Ponce, and seven satellite library branches, three in the city's urban area and four spread out in the municipality's rural areas. The main library inaugurated a new building on Bulevar Miguel Pou in August 2007,<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a><a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> where the former Puerto Rico District Court building was located.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> The central library building on Bulevar Miguel Pou was designed by Ponce architect Juan Dalmau Sambolín.<a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Gabinete_de_Lectura">Gabinete de Lectura</h3></div>

The origins of the Ponce Municipal Library date to the establishment in Ponce of the "Gabinete de Lectura" in 1869–1870, founded by <a href="Alejandro_Tapia_y_Rivera" title="Alejandro Tapia y Rivera">Alejandro Tapia y Rivera</a>.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a><a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a><a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> The books from the Gabinete de Lectura, the personal collection of Don Miguel Rosich and miscellaneous purchases were used to stock the Public Library.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a> The Gabinete de Lectura was the first educational, cultural, and scientific center in Ponce.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a> The Gabinete was established in 1870 by Federico Perez, Antonio Molina Jr., Diego Vicente Texeira, Rafael Rodriguez, Luis R. Velazquez, Angel Aguerrevera, and <a href="Eduardo_Neumann_Gand%C3%ADa" title="Eduardo Neumann Gandía">Eduardo Neumann Gandía</a>, and was located on Calle Sol.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> The central government in San Juan closed it down in 1874 out of fear that the common people would become educated and rebel against the government. However, it was reopened in 1876 by a group of people that included some of its original founders plus Dr. <a href="Rafael_Pujals" title="Rafael Pujals">Rafael Pujals</a>, Oscar Schuck, Alfredo Casals, Antonio Molina, Ramon Rivera, Jacobo Tur, Sergio Cuevas Zequeira, Juan Cuevas Aboy, Oriol Pasarell, Francisco Oliver, Manuel Mayoral Barnes, and Manuel Yordan.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a> It was re-established on 8 April 1877 with <a href="Rafael_Pujals" title="Rafael Pujals">Rafael Pujals</a>, Jose A.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="The_first_library">The first library</h3></div>

The Ponce Municipal Library was formally founded in 1890<a href="#cite_note-17">[17]</a><a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> and re-organized in 1894.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a> This first library was located on the first floor of <a href="Ponce_City_Hall" title="Ponce City Hall">Casa Alcaldia</a> building,<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> on what is now Calle <a href="Plaza_Degetau" title="Plaza Degetau">Plaza Degetau</a>, but at the time was considered part of Calle Villa. It contained 1,500 volumes that came from the "Gabinete de Lectura", the private collection of Manuel Rosich, a prominent local educator, and donations from citizens at large.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a> The first librarian was Joaquin Figueroa.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a> The library started with 809 books and 669 pamphlets.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> By 1913, the total number of volumes was over 4,754,<a href="#cite_note-24">[24]</a> including 2,818 books and 1,936 periodicals.<a href="#cite_note-25">[25]</a> In 1937, the library was restarted under the leadership of <a href="Luis_A._Ferre" class="mw-redirect" title="Luis A. Ferre">Luis A. Ferre</a>.<a href="#cite_note-26">[26]</a> The library later relocated to Calle Isabel in the <a href="Ponce_Historic_Zone" title="Ponce Historic Zone">Ponce Historic Zone</a>. In 1940, mayor <a href="Jose_Tormos_Diego" class="mw-redirect" title="Jose Tormos Diego">Jose Tormos Diego</a> reconditioned the northern annex of <a href="Teatro_La_Perla" title="Teatro La Perla">Teatro La Perla</a> to be used as the headquarters of the Ponce municipal library.<a href="#cite_note-27">[27]</a>

Originally a non-circulating library, in 1945 the Ponce Public Library instituted a home loan system guaranteed by deposits. The majority of its readers were school children.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> By 1946 the Ponce Public Library collection had increased to 9,648 volumes, mostly of general character, but completely catalogued according to the <a href="Dewey_Decimal_Classification" title="Dewey Decimal Classification">Dewey system</a>.<a href="#cite_note-29">[29]</a> In 1946 the library was mostly supported by the Ponce <a href="Lions_Clubs_International" title="Lions Clubs International">Lions Club</a> and the Asociación Bibliotecaria de Puerto Rico, a sort of "friends of the library" organization.<a href="#cite_note-30">[30]</a> At least by 1947, the library was located on the second level of the <a href="Teatro_La_Perla" title="Teatro La Perla">Teatro La Perla</a>.<a href="#cite_note-31">[31]</a> <a href="Luis_A._Ferre" class="mw-redirect" title="Luis A. Ferre">Luis A. Ferre</a> was one of the sponsors of the Ponce Public Library and, in the 1950s, several of the works of art that would later be part of the collections at <a href="Museo_de_Arte_de_Ponce" title="Museo de Arte de Ponce">Museo de Arte de Ponce</a>, first hung from the walls of the Public Library on the second floor of Teatro La Perla.<a href="#cite_note-32">[32]</a>

In 1971, construction on the north side of <a href="Teatro_La_Perla" title="Teatro La Perla">Teatro La Perla</a> was completed<a href="#cite_note-33">[33]</a><a href="#cite_note-34">[34]</a> and, during the administration of mayor <a href="Juan_H._Cintr%C3%B3n_Garc%C3%ADa" title="Juan H. Cintrón García">Juan H. Cintron</a> (1968–1972), the library moved to new facilities next to Teatro La Perla,<a href="#cite_note-35">[35]</a> where it remained until 2007.<a href="#cite_note-36">[36]</a><a href="#cite_note-37">[37]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Current_facility">Current facility</h3></div>

Construction of the new facility at Bulevar Miguel Pou started in December 2004, completed in January 2007, and the library opened in April 2007.<a href="#cite_note-38">[38]</a> The building cost was $8.5M USD, with another $2M used to furnish it, for a total cost of $10.5M.<a href="#cite_note-39">[39]</a>

The city moved its central library to the new facility in August 2007.<a href="#cite_note-40">[40]</a><a href="#cite_note-41">[41]</a> The modern facility opened over three years after the untimely death of its proud mastermind and instigator, "the beloved Ponce Mayor <a href="Rafael_Churumba_Cordero" class="mw-redirect" title="Rafael Churumba Cordero">Rafael Churumba Cordero</a>".<a href="#cite_note-42">[42]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Main_library_building">Main library building</h2></div>

The main library is located in a new building on Miguel Pou Boulevard, barrio San Anton, Ponce, at 18° 0' 44" N, 66° 36' 12" W. The new structure opened in August 2007 under the administration of Mayor <a href="Francisco_Zayas_Seijo" title="Francisco Zayas Seijo">Francisco Zayas Seijo</a><a href="#cite_note-43">[43]</a> and cost $14 million to build.<a href="#cite_note-44">[44]</a> The new building is located at the site of the old Tribunal de Ponce (English: Ponce Judicial Center),<a href="#cite_note-45">[45]</a> which was demolished to give way for the library.

Facilities also include an exhibition hall for art expositions and other similar public events of cultural and civic nature. The library's courtyard provides unrestricted wireless Internet access per the library's hotspot policy and provides an environment suitable for book presentations, storytelling activities, lectures and cocktails.<a href="#cite_note-46">[46]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Mariana_Suárez_de_Longo">Mariana Suárez de Longo</h3></div>

The Main Library was named after Mariana Suárez de Longo, a much admired “Teacher of Teachers”.
