Feleti Barstow Public Library is the main library in American Samoa, and is located in the village of Utulei in Maoputasi County. It is the central public library for the territory and is situated immediately across from the Office of Tourism, next to the Executive Office Building, and just behind Samoana High School.[1][2] Besides a permanent display depicting American Samoa’s involvement in the Apollo Space Program, the library has also worked with the American Samoa Historic Preservation Office (ASHPO) since 2000 at creating a historic Polynesian Photo Archive. The goal of the project has been to electronically catalog and archive around 6,000 still and moving images of Polynesia which were collected by the American Samoa Government.[3] The library has an extensive Pacific Collection which houses articles, books, and reports relevant to Pacific- and Samoan history. A large collection of photographs are stored in its Polynesian Photo Archive, which is a subset of their Pacific Collection.[4]Hurricane Val caused irreparable damage to the former library in 1991, and as a result of executive order 09-1991, a new public library is set to be developed. Construction on the new library was completed in 1998 and the library officially opened on April 17, 2000, during American Samoa’s Centennial Flag Day celebrations. As of 2005, the library held over 27,000 items and had 13,000 card members.[5]References1. ^Talbot, Dorinda and Deanna Swaney (1998). Samoa. Lonely Planet. Page 158. {{ISBN|9780864425553}}.
