Madan Puraskar Pustakalaya which is situated in Lalitpur, was established in 1953 B.S. The present chairman of this organization is Kamal Mani Dixit. The main aim of this library is conservation, preservation and digitization of literary works.
The library has books that were printed in Benaras as at that time Nepal had no printing machines. Though we cannot find the old newspapers and even the proof about the time they were printed but with the help of books we get the information about the date or time they had been printed. Before, at the end or at the beginning of the book ads about the newspapers were given.
According to the old records this library contains 26845 books. Collection of newspapers are also in a huge amount. Around 5125 newspapers can easily be obtained in this library. We can even get the newspaper- 'Gorkhapatra' from its 1st edition.
This library have around 15000 old pictures that talks about history of Nepal. Among which 7000 pictures are already digitised and placed in the net. We can even find 35000 pictures that are placed in different sections according to the areas related.
