Office
The Manila representative office spearheads the Library of Congress's acquisition program in the Philippines. The Philippines is comprised of three main islands: Luzon, Visayas and Mindanao, and is further subdivided into fifteen regions. In carrying out our mission, the office staff not only coordinates with vendors and other publishing organizations, but also actively seeks out valuable materials through research and fieldwork. Another important component of the program is to ensure that the exchange of publications between the United States and Philippine governments continues to take place.
The Manila representative office has regular transactions with five publishing institutions in the country, at least seven accredited book vendors, and eight bookstores. The section has alliances and active cooperative arrangements with at least 100 non-governmental organizations most of which have offices and affiliations in the fifteen regions in the Philippines. The office collected more than 2097 serials and 1995 approved monographs including films, videos, sound recordings and CDs.
The Manila section is now located in the American Embassy building .
