National Library Of Bhutan, Thimphu Stock Photography

The National Library of Bhutan, Thimphu, Bhutan was established in 1967 for the purpose of preservation and promotion of the rich cultural and religious heritage of Bhutan. To provide a permanent home for the sacred religious books and manuscripts in the growing collection, construction of the present four-storeyed eight-cornered traditional building, which looks like the central tower temple of a Bhutanese Dzong, in the Kawajangtsa area of Thimphu was initiated.
