The [[National Library of Mongolia]] is located in Ulaanbaatar and includes an extensive historical collection, items in non-Mongolian languages and a special children's collection.<ref name="nla.gov.au">{{cite web|url=http://www.nla.gov.au/apps/lapsdir?action=LapsDetails&orgid=23716|title=Metropolitan Central Library of Ulaanbaatar|publisher=Nla.gov.au|date=1 March 2004|access-date=18 April 2012}}</ref>

The Metropolitan Central Library of Ulaanbaatar, sometimes also referred to as the Ulaanbaatar Public Library, is a [[public library]] with a collection of about 500,000 items. It has 232,097 annual users and a total of 497,298 loans per year. It does charge users a registration fee of 3800 to 4250 [[tugrik]], or about US$3.29 to 3.68. The fees may be the result of operating on a budget under $176,000 per year. They also host websites on classical and modern [[Mongolian literature]] and food, in addition to providing free internet access.<ref name="nla.gov.au"/>

In 1986, the Ulaanbaatar government created a centralized system for all public libraries in the city, known as the Metropolitan Library System of Ulaanbaatar (MLSU). This system coordinates management, acquisitions, finances and policy among public libraries in the capital, in addition to providing support to school and children's libraries.<ref>[http://www.mclibrary.edu.mn/libraryhistory_eng.html "The 800th Anniversary of Great Mongolian State. History"]. {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20080329073348/http://www.mclibrary.edu.mn/libraryhistory_eng.html|date=29 March 2008}}</ref> Other than the Metropolitan Central Library, the MLSU has four branch libraries. They are in the [[Chingeltei District]] (established in 1946), in the Khan-Uul District (established in 1948), in the Bayanzurkh District (established in 1968) and in the Songino-Khairkhan District (established in 1991). There is also a Children's Central Library, which was established in 1979.<ref>[http://www.mclibrary.edu.mn/branches_eng.html "The 800th Anniversary of Great Mongolian State.
