ITS BEGINNINGS

     The CLSU Library co-existed with the founding of the University in 1907. The University was first conceived as farmer student’s school at Muñoz and was formally opened on July 10, 1909. The library collection grew over the years through various donations and grants made to the University.

    The first library building was destroyed and some of the collections were damaged by an earthquake in 1990.

     The new library building was inaugurated and occupied in November 1993. The Library exists primarily  to serve  the needs of  the  students  and  faculty of  the University.  Since it  is designed  for the use of  all, it  must necessarily  operate within a framework of regulations.  These are designed  to  facilitate rather than  restrict  the  services of the library.
