Welcome to the Tomás Bonilla Feliciano
Legislative Library

     Created within the Office of Legislative Services by virtue of Act No. 59. 59. 59. 59. 59 of June 19, 1964, as amended, the Tomás Bonilla Feliciano Legislative Library of Puerto Rico is located on the first and second floors at the north side of the former School of Tropical Medicine.  

   This Library is sub-specialized in the field of legislation and has extensive bibliographical resources in various fields of knowledge. The main purpose of the Legislative Library is to render accessible to the members of the Legislature, the Office of Legislative Services, and the general public, all data on legislative procedures, as well as on many other government activities

Our Users  

     Legislators, legislative aides, legislative advisors, and all committees of the Legislature constitute the priority in terms of service. It also offers services to employees from other government agencies and any citizen who requests the services of the Library.

This section orients, supports and renders collections accessible to users through the search, use, access, reference and consultation of the resources of the Library, whether in a printed or nonprinted media or an electronic format, be it online or compact discs. Another of its main functions is interlibrary loans and circulation.
