📖 About Biblioteca Municipal Campo Rico
The Biblioteca Municipal Campo Rico is the public library serving the Campo Rico community of Canóvanas, Puerto Rico, a municipality of about 42,000 residents in the northeastern corner of the island. Canóvanas was part of the barrio of Loíza for more than 400 years before becoming an independent municipality on August 15, 1970. Its name derives from the Taíno cacique Canobaná, and the town is known by nicknames including 'City of Indians' (for its indigenous heritage), 'City of Races' (for the Hipódromo Camarero horse-racing track), and 'The Door to the East' — reflecting its role as a gateway to the eastern end of the island. The library is located in the Campo Rico barrio on Calle 10 in the Los Navarro community, accessible from the San Juan metro area. Like other Puerto Rico municipal libraries, it operates under the municipal government and provides free access to books, public computers, Wi-Fi, and community programming. There is no centralized statewide digital subscription for Puerto Rico municipal libraries; each municipality funds its library independently.
