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.

Students explored the library spaces, participated in interactive activities, and walked away with simple yet exciting prizes as they discovered the resources and spaces available to support their studies this academic year.

The UST Miguel de Benavides Library team set aside their daily duties for a half-day of active fun and camaraderie during the Library Team Bonding 2026 held last July 29, 2026.

Co-organized by the Library's Professional Training and Development Committee, the day kicked off with a high-energy Zumba session to get everyone moving, followed by spirited rounds of volleyball and basketball games. The event wrapped up with a lighthearted awarding ceremony, where staff members were recognized with fun, custom awards celebrating their performance and team spirit throughout the activity.

Here’s a look at the library staff building teamwork, recharging, and enjoying time together beyond the library walls!
