The library of the Mongolian National University of Education and the U.S. Library of Congress have officially launched a book exchange program. As a part of the program, Dr. Saruul-Erdene Myagmar, a Mongolian specialist at the U.S. Library of Congress, presented the first batch of 20 books to the university on May 11.

The books, focused on human intelligence, education, technology, ethics and social change, will be used in the university’s teaching and research activities. The collection includes works on educational studies, lifelong learning, social and cultural equality, psychology, neuroscience and consciousness studies, artificial intelligence, ethics, technology, science, economics, tourism, culture, mythology, humanities, philosophy, and critical thinking.

During the handover ceremony, Baatarsuren J., director of the university library, noted that the newly received books serve as valuable resources addressing “human-centered, ethical, and sustainable development” from multiple perspectives. He emphasized that the materials would strengthen research sources, promote interdisciplinary studies, enrich course content, and expand opportunities to apply contemporary theories in education. The books are also expected to help students develop critical thinking skills and broaden their competencies.

Since 2025, the university library has been collecting works related to the Mongol studies by Mongolian scholars and researchers and has so far sent 99 books to the Library of Congress.

The Mongolian collection the Library of Congress accepts donations of publications related to the Mongol studies, including translated works by foreign scholars on Mongol studies, Mongolian literature and literary studies, as well as complete multi-volume sets. However, works unrelated to Mongolian studies, books already held by the Library of Congress, and works of fiction are not accepted for donation.
