The National Library of Cambodia (Khmer: បណ្ណាល័យជាតិកម្ពុជា, romanized: bannalycheate kampouchea; French: Bibliothèque nationale du Cambodge) is the national library of Cambodia, based in Phnom Penh.
From 1975-1979, the Khmer Rouge destroyed many of the books and bibliographical records, it is commonly thought that about 20% of its 65,000 materials survived,[1][2] though the true number lost remains unknown.[3]
