The Colombo Public Library is a renowned library located in the heart of Colombo, the capital city of Sri Lanka. It is a hub of knowledge, education, and cultural enrichment for the local community and visitors. The library is dedicated to providing access to a vast collection of books, periodicals, and resources across various disciplines.

The Colombo Library was established in 1925, merging the two libraries, Colombo Library and the Pettah Library. Initially, the library had 3 departments, The Reading Room, the Lending Room & the Reference Library. It had seven members on the staff, with the late Mr S.C Blok as the Librarian. From 1935 to 1990, it was at Srinivasa before shifting to the new building at Sir Marcus Fernando Mawatha.
