The library has the most extensive collection of titles in public administration, governance and development studies in the country. It holds 35,000 books, 300 journals and periodicals, and over 20,000 Philippine documents. The library operates in an open-shelf system where users are free to "shop" around the shelves for the library materials that they need. All library users are therefore enjoined to present their books/bags as they leave. Please do not wait to be asked.
