Library

Paul University Library was established on 30 November 2009 to support and facilitate the teaching, learning, research and recreational activities of the University Community. The library inherited the collection of the former St. Paul's College, Awka, which is expanding and broadening as the College Library transforms into a University Library, balancing Sciences with earlier emphasis on the Arts, Social and Management Sciences.

The University also runs an E-Library- a section of the library in which collections are stored in electronic media formats (as opposed to print, or other media) and accessible through computers.
