Ulaanbaatar, November 22, 2023 /MONTSAME. The National Library of Mongolia (NLM), the largest and oldest library in the country houses over three million books and publications. Over one million volumes of the collection, in the Mongolian, Tibetan, Chinese, and Manchu languages are rare and valuable books, sutras, and manuscripts of critical significance.
