ABOUT US

established in 1964. The Act provides for the depositing and preservation of
publications, the setting up of an information referral service and library co-ordination and to provide for other related matters.
The Act was passed in Parliament in September 2002 after the Committee on

President accented to it in December 2002 and it was published in the Uganda
gazette as Act No.2 of 2003[1]
