The National Library was stablished in 1967 with the
primary objective of collecting and preserving mainly
ancient Bhutanese written and printed resources. The
multi-functional library now can pride itself on being a
modern library with a number of service and research
facilities. It accomodates a sizeable and a steadily
growing stock of books, scriptures and written documents
as well as a huge amount of wood printing blocks for
religious books.It treasures one the largest holdings of
Mahayana Buddhist literature in the world, originally
written in classical choekad choekad (chos skad ), the
lingua franca of the lamaist world. |
