In 1935, a free national public library service was established as the Jubilee Library. Renamed the British Honduras Library Service, the BNLSIS received its name in 1966 by a legal amendment. The system attempted to serve locations countrywide, but due to lack of finance and expertise it was not until 1955 that reorganization started. Branch libraries were established in the district capitals, the government significantly increased its annual grant between 1955 and 1960, and the first professional librarian was appointed in 1955.
