Thanks to the catalog studies carried out by Assoc. Dr. H. Adnan Erzi and librarian Prof. Dr. Arthur J. Vennix,  our library came into use with 12 thousand books, most of which were donated and it was also moved to its current building on the campus in 1970.

Our library, which has gained the identity of a reference library across the country thanks to the current resource purchases done at certain periods and shelf length, offers 600 users the opportunity to work in 7350 m² closed area.
