The following is a list of libraries in Metro Manila, Philippines.
A public library is "a library or library system that provides unrestricted access to library resources and services free of charge to all the residents of a given community, district, or geographic region, supported wholly or in part by public funds.
Because public libraries have a broader mandate than academic libraries and most special libraries, they must develop their collections to reflect diversity."
A library within or under the government, e.g. a public school or a state college/university, may not be considered a public library since it has a more specific user community to cater to.
Public libraries are set up to be managed and funded by the local government for the public's use.
