Our Legacy
When John Harris, a New Zealander, arrived at the University of Ibadan in 1948 to serve as the Pioneer Librarian, he described what he found as "a librarian's nightmare and a scene of book chaos."
From this beginning, the Kenneth Dike Library has grown into one of Africa's premier academic libraries, with over 2 million printed volumes and more than 10 million digital resources.
