Welcome to the UNIC Library

The UN Information Centre library is housed in Sergio Vieira de Mello library at the United Nations Offices at Nairobi in Gigiri. As an official UN documentation centre, it carries a wide variety of information materials, ranging from maps and brochures to books and UN documents.

Among the documents found in the library are: the UN Year Book, the UN Charter, Basic Facts About the United Nations, reports by the UN Secretary-General, as well as literature on peacekeeping, human rights, children, women and gender issues. Most of the materials are published by the Department of Public Information in New York.

The UNIC library distributes materials to members of the public, students, schools, colleges and universities. Some of the materials, however, are reference-only. The Library also serves as a resource centre for the United Nations staff.

The UNIC library is open every day of the week between 8 a.m. and 4 p.m. Monday to Thursday, and between 8 a.m. and 12.30 p.m. on Fridays. The UNIC librarian, is also able to answer telephone queries regarding information sources and materials.

The UNIC library is equipped with modern communications technology, through which visitors are guided to the UN electronic resources on the Internet. For example, it has a link to the database in the Dag Hammarskjöld Library in New York, from which users can access information online through the Official document system, a search tool that can retrieve full details of documents.
