We view Education and Learning as vital at the Busitema University Library and stimulating facets of our library patrons' intellectual lives. Thus, we wholeheartedly concur with the Five Laws of Library Science proposed by S. R. Ranganathan, especially the one that states, "Every reader his [or her] book." Our goal is to assist patrons of our library in discovering theirs. We confidently predict that the Busitema University Library will maintain its status as a "Distinctive Signifier of Excellence'' and continue to gain significance. The Motto for excellence at the Busitema University Library will be "Thinking Globally."
