National Library of Uganda, National library in Kampala, Uganda
The National Library of Uganda occupies a building on Plot 50, Buganda Road in Kampala, functioning as the central repository for publications and research materials.
The institution was established through an Act of Parliament in 2003, replacing the Public Libraries Board that had operated since 1964 in Uganda.
The library maintains an extensive collection of Ugandan literature, government documents, and educational materials that reflect the nation's intellectual development.
Researchers and visitors can access the library's services including reference assistance, inter-library loans, and ISBN registration for published works.
In 2010, the library partnered with the Library of Congress to digitize local materials for inclusion in the World Digital Library project.
