This public library has a central location in Bhrikutimandap, which is an appealing factor for its users, mainly students from the surrounding colleges. Set up in 2003 with zero books, KVPL has now amassed over 50,000 books through the sheer effort of donation from members of the Society for Kathmandu Public Library and the public. Most books are non-fiction as the books received are from government offices and research centers.
