About Us
The Library of Uganda Martyrs University, referred to as the Archbishop Kiwanuka Memorial Library, was founded at the inception of the University in 1993. It is named in memory of the first African bishop, Late Archbishop Joseph Nakabaale Kiwanuka (1899-1966) because of his visionary thinking, especially for conceiving the idea of establishing a catholic University in Uganda.
The library boasts of a collection of over 54,000 volumes in print, 30,000 online journals, and over 200,000 titles of e-books, all relevant to the courses taught by the university.
