The Donald E. U. Ekong Library
The University of Port Harcourt Library was established in 1976/77 session, at the time the parent institution, University of Port Harcourt was also established. When the University moved to its temporary site, the Library moved with it and was allocated a space where it finally started normal activities in 1977/1978 session with the opening of the circulation, technical, and administration units. All circulation and technical services, including lending, reference, acquisition of material etc started immediately. With the completion of the ultra-modern permanent building for the library in the permanent site, all branches of the Library relocated to this building in 2008.
