About Library
The Family Health University Library, considered the heart of the University, was named after Professor Timothy R. B. Johnson. It was established to meet the information and research needs of its user community.
The Library supports the mission and vision of the University by providing materials, services, and facilities that enhance student enrollment, retention, and academic success. It also supports faculty members in their teaching, learning, research, and service activities.
Given its user base, the Library’s collection focuses primarily on the disciplines of medicine, nursing, and midwifery. These collections are regularly updated to meet current academic and professional standards.

In embracing technological advancements, the Library maintains both electronic and print collections to meet the needs of users regardless of their location. Electronic resources are accessible both on-campus and off-campus. The Library also operates a modern Library Management System to support the efficient management of its collections and services.
To further meet the needs of its users, the Library subscribes to the Consortium of Academic and Research Libraries in Ghana (CARLIGH), which provides access to extensive electronic resources and e-books through platforms such as ProQuest.
