The Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya has a new building but the Kaiser Library and National Library have yet to be retrofitted or renovated

The Kaiser Library, one of Kathmandu’s few public libraries, .... is in a distressing state of disrepair. After the earthquakes of 2015, the building was given by a yellow sticker by the Nepal Engineers’ Association, meaning that it wasn’t damaged beyond repair but needs retrofitting if it is to stay in use. The library had to temporarily transfer its collection of 50,000 books from the building’s first floor to the ground. In the past four years, no retrofitting has been carried out.

The National Library, part of the Harihar Bhawan complex that houses several government offices, was given a red sticker after the earthquakes, meaning it had been damaged beyond repair and is dangerously unstable. Following this designation, the National Library, which is Nepal’s first public library, moved to a small corner of Harihar Bhawan. “The earthquake did great damage to our library and books. Many were ruined during the rainy season,” said Upendra Prasad Mainali, chief librarian.

Patan’s Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya, however, stands in stark contrast to the state of Nepal’s two largest libraries.  

Within a year of the 2015 earthquakes, the formerly three-storeyed library, established by Kamal Mani Dixit, was completely rebuilt. A beautiful modern structure--made out of rammed earth and bamboo, built by the architecture firm Abari--now houses the library’s full collection.
