UST Miguel de Benavides Library

UST Miguel de Benavides Library Welcome to the oldest library in the Philippines, the UST Miguel de Benavides Library! It has sixteen sections and four branch libraries.

The University of Santo Tomas Miguel de Benavides Library dates back to the early part of the 17th Century. From the modest personal library of Father Miguel de Benavides, founder of the institution, it grew as an institution of priceless information resources. The Library is now a hub of learning, providing services to the University and off-campus researchers. The Miguel de Benavides Library houses a rich collection of around half a million volumes of print and non-print materials.

Today, June 24, we commemorate the founding of the City of Manila. One of the oldest continuously inhabited cities in the world and a historic center of education, culture, faith, and governance in the Philippines.

As we celebrate Araw ng Maynila, we honor our city’s rich heritage and enduring legacy as a cradle of knowledge, culture, and nation-building. May this occasion inspire us to continue preserving and appreciating the stories, traditions, and historical treasures that connect us to our shared past.

On June 17, 2026, some members of the UST Miguel de Benavides Library staff gathered for a hands-on training session on using Canvas for Global Announcements and Impact Messages, led by Engr. Raul B. Ponay, Technology and Infrastructure Manager of the UST Educational Technology Center (EdTech).

The session gave participants a closer look at how Canvas's announcement features work and how they can be used more effectively to reach the Thomasian community. It sparked conversations about how the Library can make the most of Canvas as a communication tool, from sharing service advisories and resource updates to keeping library users informed more quickly and efficiently.
