The Library was founded in 2010 to cater to the research and information needs of the Nazarbayev University community. It houses a vast collection of close to 200,000 print volumes, as well as collections of electronic books and journals, microfiches, DVDs, and electronic databases, primarily in English. It is one of the most advanced academic libraries in Central Asia. It was the first to offer 24/7 access to its readers in 2018. In 2023, new Alma and Primo systems were implemented, making it the first library in Kazakhstan to operate this library platform.
The library regularly organizes user engagement programs such as the Library Road Show, Information Literacy Race, Human Library, Week of Women, and many other engaging activities that are highly sought after by the university community. NU librarians are actively and effectively sharing their wealth of knowledge and experience with other librarians in Kazakhstan and providing internship programs to library and information students. In addition, the NU librarians publish articles and book chapters, as well as present at library seminars and conferences.
