Pridi Banomyong Library Verified listing

Thammasat’s first library was established at the founding of the university in 1934. Initially, the library was under control of the administration and was known as the Textbook and Library Division. In 1958, control was transferred to the Educational Services Division, and again in 1961 to the Office of the Rector. In 1976 the library attained the status of an independent office (the first in Thailand), with all branches becoming centralized under the administration of the Thammasat University Library System. At this time the system included the central libraries as well as branch libraries for the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Commerce and Accountancy, the Faculty of Political Science, the Faculty of Economics, the Faculty of Social Administration and the Faculty of Sociology and Anthropology, the Faculty of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Institute of Thai Studies.
