Agriculture Library Profile - Faculty of Agriculture, University of Peradeniya

The Agriculture Library emerged as a separate library in the University Library System in the 1960s catering to the information requirements of the Faculty of Agriculture. In 1980 it was amalgamated with the Postgraduate Institute of Agriculture Library and was housed in the first floor of the PGIA Building. The Library was shifted to the four-storied new building in 1996.
The most unique feature of the Agriculture Library is that it serves two institutions of higher education at the University of Peradeniya, namely the Faculty of Agriculture and the Postgraduate Institute of Agriculture.
The main objective of the Agriculture Library is to strengthen the agriculture education and research programs of the University of Peradeniya with the provision of information in print, non-print, and electronic media.
