Gregoria M. Rivera Memorial Library, commonly known as Ilocos Sur Provincial Library, is a public library in Vigan, Ilocos Sur, Philippines.^[1]

History

Before becoming a library, its building served as Vigan's jail in 1657, and became Ilocos Sur's provincial jail complex in 1855.^[2]

In 1890, Philippine president Elpidio Quirino was born inside the jail complex when his father served as jail warden. In 1948, a section of the jail complex was converted into a provincial library, and named after Quirino's mother, Gregoria Rivera.^[3]

Recognition

The National Historical Commission of the Philippines (NHCP) declared the library a national historical landmark in 1949.^[3]
