ESUT Library
Enugu State University of Science and Technology
A dynamic, world-class university library promoting knowledge creation, research excellence, and innovation
About the Library
The Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT) Library was established in 1980, the same year the university was founded—originally as Anambra State University of Science and Technology (ASUTECH). The library was created to serve as the intellectual hub of the institution, providing academic resources and information services to support teaching, learning, and research.
Following the creation of Enugu State in 1991, the university was renamed Enugu State University of Science and Technology (ESUT), and the library also assumed a new identity under this name. Over the years, the library system expanded to include branch libraries in various faculties and campuses.
The main university library is currently located at the university's permanent site in Agbani, Nkanu West Local Government Area, Enugu State, Nigeria, with branch libraries at the College of Medicine in Enugu, Law Faculty, Engineering Faculty, Faculty of Management Sciences, Faculty of Environmental Sciences, Faculty of Applied Natural Sciences, Faculty of Education and JUPEB Library (for pre-degree students).
