Ateneo Library, Intramuros circa 1912

In the first years of the Ateneo in Intramuros, when the school was still called Ateneo Municipal de Manila, Fathers Vicente Jimenez and Jacinto Lloren collected all the books in the then academic offices and started a library. Supported by the Spanish colonial government, the first Ateneo library in Intramuros served its purpose effectively for over four decades.
