JIGME DORJI WANGCHUCK LIBRARY AND I

Jigme Dorji Wangchuk Public Library (JDWPL) was named after his Majesty Jigme Dorji Wangchuck passed away and it was established as a tribute to His Majesty Third King. The library was first established in the year 1980 in Bhutanese house opposite to Bank of Bhutan. When the library started functioning it had only some few hundred books and in 1986, the library was moved to present domicile and the library is located opposite to Bhutan Development Bank Limited (BDBL).  Thimphu City Corporation (TCC) took over the library in the year 2000, since then TCC has taken charge of looking after the development of the library.

The library serves as nectar of knowledge where all the people wanting to collect the nectar knowledge comes and collects the sweet nectar and becomes a voracious reader. In order to entice readers and members the library takes initiative to host different programs which enhances student’s ingenuity.

 Jigme Dorji Wangchuck Public Library invites volunteers and makes them work in a library and makes them instill the real sense of volunteerism. I am one of the active volunteer working in the library and it is great pleasure to overhaul my volunteerism. Working as a volunteer at a library is an immense opportunity for me to learn new things and have a feel of new experience. Working as a volunteer, made me overhaul hardship and embrace experiences and knowledge in a short span of time.

Lastly, I urge all eminent youth and students to volunteer and make the voluntary work more than an 'eternity'. You volunteer and you work with your dedication, the knowledge and the experience is your superannuation. 

“Do your best and then let life do the rest”.
