Holdings include books by William Warren, Jim Thompson Foundation publications, exhibition catalogues, and reference materials on Thai culture, architecture, textiles, and crafts. Free access is open to all visitors; annual membership (1,500 THB general, 600 THB students) allows borrowing of up to three items at a time.
The library also has a mini-exhibition space and free Wi-Fi. Located 400 metres from BTS National Stadium Station (Exit 1) and a three-minute walk from Hua Chang Bridge pier.
