From the desk of Librarian :
The objective of the Library is to facilitate convenient and user friendly access to current, global and relevant information to its users. We identify, acquire, organise the information resources in print as well as digital formats and make them available to our users to meet their information requirements. We at KJSCE Library look forward to serve our students and faculty with personalised Reference Services and Selective Dissemination of Information as well.
