Vision

To be a leading center of excellence in promoting teaching, learning and research activities of the University.

Mission

UEAB Library promotes and advances quality integrated, innovative and user friendly library services to enhance teaching, learning and research activities by providing an environment that blends academic, spiritual and social spaces.

Brief History of the Library

UEAB Library was officially opened on 14th June 1992 by Elder Bekere Heye, the first Chancellor of the University. The mandate of the library is to serve the needs of the UEAB community. To date the library provides access to print books and print journals. With the advent of technology, UEAB incorporated the provision of e‑resources to its collection. In addition, UEAB Library is a depository of Seventh‑day Adventists publications. The immense wealth of academic resources available in the library is a great boost to UEAB academic excellence.
