The National Library was founded during the French colonial period, reflecting the influence of European architectural styles and library systems. Over the years, it has undergone various renovations to accommodate the growing collection and the evolving needs of its patrons. The library played a crucial role in preserving Cambodian literature, especially during the Khmer Rouge regime when many cultural institutions were devastated. Today, it stands as a testament to the resilience of Cambodia’s literary tradition and is committed to promoting literacy and access to information for all Cambodians.
