Kyung Hee University Central Library was founded in 1951 with 700 books donated by Dr. Young Seek Choue in a temporary building in Busan amidst the Korean War. The current Central Library building on the Seoul Campus, famous for its majestic architecture and masonry, was completed on June 13, 1968.
