The University Library is one of the largest libraries of Kirov and Kirov region. It is a methodical center for Methodical Association of University Libraries of Kirov.

Since April 1, 2016 (the date of the Basic University foundation) two libraries have been united there: those of Vyatka State University and Vyatka State University of Humanities. So their book collections, all electronic information resources and electronic catalogs have been unified.

Now it is a multipurpose library that has more than 1 400 000 copies of publications. The library includes 6 delivery desks and 6 reading rooms for 367 persons, rooms with open access to electronic information resources (with 26 PC workstations available). Annually over 380,000 people visit the library and more than 1 330 000 books are delivered herewith. Every year the library subscribes to print and electronic periodicals. The current subscription is available here.

Annually the library purchases full-text and bibliographic databases containing on-line periodicals.
