Empowering Knowledge Seekers

Our Story

The late Dr. Ramesh Khatry founded the ATEN Library in 1993, drawing inspiration from the Bodleian Library at Oxford, with support from the United Mission to Nepal (UMN) and the International Nepal Fellowship (INF). ATEN is committed to upgrading and promoting theological education in Nepal. Our primary goal is to support Bible schools, seminaries, churches, and individuals. At the heart of ATEN is a comprehensive, fully accredited library, offering a vast collection of resources for theological studies and spiritual growth.

Nestled in the heart of Kathmandu, ATEN Library has been a cornerstone of academic enrichment for students, researchers, and knowledge enthusiasts. Our library provides a welcoming environment where individuals can explore, learn, and grow.

Vision

ATEN is dedicated to collecting and discovering essential books for the theological educational community of Nepal. We aim to provide and preserve resources that meet the needs of current and future generations of theological students and scholars. By exploring and implementing innovative technologies and services, we strive to deliver information about new books and theological resources conveniently to readers anytime, anywhere. Additionally, we offer well-equipped and functional physical spaces in the library where students can pursue independent learning and discovery outside their college or seminary.
