About the Library


The High Skies College Library was established in 2015 as a central academic support unit to advance the teaching, learning, and research mission of the College. From its modest beginnings with a small collection of print resources and limited seating capacity, the library has grown into a vibrant knowledge hub, serving students, faculty, and staff across disciplines. Its development was guided by the institution’s commitment to innovation, business leadership, and the practical application of science and technology.
Over the years, the library has expanded both its physical and digital collections, introducing access to electronic databases, research support services, and information literacy training. The integration of ICT tools and the continuous improvement of user services reflect the College’s broader vision of developing ethical, ICT-competent graduates with a strong understanding of the African business landscape. Today, the High Skies Library stands as a vital pillar in the academic life of the institution, fostering discovery, critical thinking, and lifelong learning.
