A center for restoring ancient Tibetan books has been launched in Lhasa, the capital of southwest China's Tibet Autonomous Region.

China has more than one million ancient Tibetan books, two-thirds of which are in Tibet. These books are scattered in temples, local libraries, research centers and museums, as well as among the people.

Many of the ancient books have been damaged and are in dire need of restoration and protection.

Tibet launched an ancient book protection campaign in 2008, creating a leading team and an expert committee to help with the work.

So far, the regional government has allocated a total of more than 5 million yuan, roughly 800,000 U.S. dollars, to support the survey and protection of ancient Tibetan books.
