Introduction:

Tribhuvan University Central Library was established in 1959, which is the best and largest modern library in Nepal. In 1969, the British Book Department Council rated it as one of the best libraries in Asia. The library is also regarded as the largest one in the entire Asia pacific region. According to TUCL, it comprises about 400,000 resources, including books and periodicals from the 12th century and rare collections like Bibliotheca Himalayica.


The library is generally visited by about 1500 general readers. Amongst them, 1000 are the students from the Tribhuvan University. Students conducting research or writing book or those preparing for Public Service and government service exams are core readers. Citizens of any nation can become the member of the library for which it charges a very small amount of money.

Unfortunately, the devastating earthquake that struck in 2014 in Nepal damaged the library severely along with taking over 8000 Nepalese lives. The library management committee is doing its best to reshape and rearrange the library accordingly.
