Amongst the facilities inherited from Siriba Teachers College and GTI, were two small libraries with a combined seating capacity of 300. Since then, the university has put up two more libraries and expanded the seating capacity to 600. The library services are currently being provided from five different service points at Maseno and Kisumu City Campus respectively.

There are two branch libraries at the College Campus, and another two within Siriba Campus. We also have a branch at Kisumu City Campus.
