My recent visit to the library was a firm testimony to its enduring significance in our academic and cultural life. The guidance of the librarian highlighted the often overlooked aspects of library categorization, particularly the careful segregation of reference materials.
The segregation of Bhutanese reference materials from others, including atlases, dictionaries, and maps, indicates the library's role in storing and categorizing both local and foreign knowledge. The classification of sections for new arrivals, college magazines, and reports highlights its nature as a living and developing resource.
Knowing the numbering system and how histories of Bhutan fall under the 900s, and understanding that histories of other nations have special sections, illustrated the library's capacity to assist thorough historical study.
Finally, there are large portraits and religious scriptures in the Majushri Room that attest to the library's broader cultural and spiritual significance. During an age of digital information, the library remains a valuable space for focused study, research, and cultural preservation.
