A library is a public cultural, social and educational repository for human cultural products. In any university the library is the center of intellectual life and learning. In the Central Library of the Raparin University we provide reference and circulating volumes designed to allow easy access on the part of students and scholars to key texts and information to support their studies and research.
Library objectives:
1. To provide reference material for students in a systematic way that facilitates access.
2. Providing consultation to help students find the materials they need.
3. Providing support for researchers who require specialized research materials.
4. Providing a suitable, comfortable and collegial atmosphere in which students and researchers can study library materials.
5. Building relationships with other libraries and other educational organizations in order to find more scientific references for the readers.
6. Expanding the size of the library holdings to support the mission of the University and to support current and future programs.
