UST Miguel de Benavides Library

UST Miguel de Benavides Library Welcome to the oldest library in the Philippines, the UST Miguel de Benavides Library! It has sixteen sections and four branch libraries.

The University of Santo Tomas Miguel de Benavides Library dates back to the early part of the 17th Century. From the modest personal library of Father Miguel de Benavides, founder of the institution, it grew as an institution of priceless information resources. The Library is now a hub of learning, providing services to the University and off-campus researchers. The Miguel de Benavides Library houses a rich collection of around half a million volumes of print and non-print materials.
