Bule Hora University Library

Overview

Bule Hora University established its library services at the former Teachers College with a small staff. After one year, the university relocated to its main campus and expanded library services into two sections supporting academic departments. Later, the university built its first main library, the Abdula Gemeda Library, and officially launched full services. Additional libraries, General Tula Dube Library for Natural Science students and Bariso Dukale Library for general users, were also established.
