During my visit to Dharmshala visited this place and having very good time. As the library contains sources which were relocated from Tibet during the 1959 escape, including important Tibetan Buddhist manuscripts and archives related to Tibet's history, politics, culture and even art. Also the second floor of the library contains a museum containing notable artifacts and items that date back to the twelfth century. And also there you can take the books from the library and read also. There are two sections one where you will find the books in English and in other in Tibet. So a must visit place if you are in Dharmshala Or planning to be in Dharmshala.
