Library System
The University of Botswana library system has been in existence since 1971 when the first thousand volumes were housed in an unused church building in the village of Gaborone. The first official building was opened in 1986, which was two stories tall and contained only five computers.
In 2001, the library moved to a new building, more than tripling its size. The new main library is one of the largest university libraries in Africa with five floors and a significantly larger and more modern computer network.

Famous quotes containing the words library and/or system:
“A man’s library is a sort of harem.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“The human body is not a thing or substance, given, but a continuous creation. The human body is an energy system ... which is never a complete structure; never static; is in perpetual inner self-construction and self-destruction; we destroy in order to make it new.”
—Norman O. Brown (b. 1913)
