The university library in its early years of existence in 1982, witnessed series of movements in search of a befitting accommodation.

The first movement was from its makeshift office in the University Guest House at Ikhiro Road to a temporary administrative block in the then Okpebho Local Government Secretariat.

However, in 1987, the library moved for the fourth time to a relatively more congenial academic environment located at Ujemen, now the permanent site of the university along the Benin-Auchi Expressway.
