On April 23, 2025, the Library received a generous donation of 600 science books, primarily focusing on biology, from Dr. Maarten Kapelle, a renowned scientist and currently the Chief of the Scientific Assessment Branch at the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). This valuable contribution significantly enhances the Library’s scientific collection and supports academic and research efforts in the biological sciences.

The library held an open user engagement forum for students with disabilities on 17th April 2025 in the board room. This is a forum where the library staff meets with various groups of users to discuss how best they can deliver services to them. This was the second forum for students with disabilities; the first one was held in June last year.

The Vice Chancellor, Prof. Margaret Jesang Hutchinson, visited Kisumu Campus on Thursday, March 27, 2025, accompanied by senior members of the University management, including the Chief Operations Officer, Mr. Brian Ouma.

During her visit, she toured the library, where she was received by the Librarian in charge, Madam Jane Opiyo. She assessed the library’s readiness ahead of the arrival of first-year Module One students expected in the coming intake.
