Abstract: The aim of this long essay is to give a cursory look to the history behind the development of the library of the Philippine Congregation in Senglea within the general context of the Cottonera area. In fact, this essay gives a short description of all the important ecclesiastical libraries that have existed or still exist in the area besides a short study of the history of the Philippine congregation in Senglea as well as the development of their library and tries to answer how and why this library came into being. Moreover, a synchronic study has been undertaken on the actual state of the library today and how the conditions of the books in this library can be improved. Finally, this essay puts forward a working hypothesis for the study whether there is any connection between the number of intellectuals that hailed from Senglea, in particular during the nineteenth century, and the existence of this library. I am convinced that the existence of this library has helped Senglea to be on the forefront, in particular during the nineteenth century regarding the number of intellectuals that have hailed from this area.
