The Virtual Library seeks to foster intellectual growth and promote appreciation of Dominican culture. In addition to providing equal access to library materials, the library’s digitalized volumes allow for numerous users to read the same book, article or document simultaneously.
Those
interested may reference all works available through the Virtual Library. Digital volumes may be read, downloaded and printed at no cost to the reader. All documents form part of the public domain. Restriction free access to all literary works makes the Virtual Library an invaluable teaching tool for classroom instructors.
