It is interesting as it is also a temple so they can house the religious text here. So you have to take your shoes off to enter the library.

We visited the National Institute for Zorig Chusum, a trade school of sorts where students learned how to carve, paint, and sculpt. Here a student is carving a wooden mask.

Students spend six years honing their skills in wood work, embroidery, sculpture, or painting so that they become an artisan to contribute to Bhutan's native culture.
