The National Library of Bhutan was first established in 1967 under the patronage of HM Queen Ashi Phuntso Choden (1911-2003), with a small collection of precious texts. The library was initially housed within the central tower (utse) of Tashichodzong. Later, due to its growing collection, it had to move to a building in the Changgangkha area of Thimphu. 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, was initiated. The cost of the construction of this building was borne entirely by the Royal Government of Bhutan without any foreign aid.
