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.

Ms. Maria Cecilia D. Lobo, RL

How do you feel whenever you see another batch start their Thomasian journey?

“Siyempre, happy tayo to have the fresh batch of UST freshmen from all the different programs and all the colleges, faculties and institutes. We welcome them to the UST Miguel de Benavides Library, I hope they will have an enriching experience accessing the physical library, as well as the online services we have.”

The Library doors are open to accept all of them, especially the freshmen. The librarians are ready to accommodate them, and they will be delighted to assist them for their information needs. They are always welcome.”
