The Main Library of the University of Life Sciences in Lublin was founded in 1955. It gathers Polish and foreign literature related to the profile of academic and didactic work conducted by University employees. A collection of books covers a wide range of agricultural sciences, horticulture, animal science, veterinary medicine, food technology, agribusiness, agricultural engineering, food industry engineering and biology, biotechnology, nature conservation and (selectively) medicine, mathematics, physics, chemistry and engineering.

Since 2012 the Main Library of the University of Life Sciences in Lublin has been housed in a new building and is a Regional Centre for Agricultural Science Information. In this new place the users have open access to the library resources. On the second and third floor there are books and magazines (with archives) most often used by our users (open stacks). Readers choose the volumes themselves from the shelves, which they can use on the site, without the need to fill in a request form.

The library is available to students, employees and postgraduate students of the University of Life Sciences in Lublin. The book collection includes about 380 000 volumes, periodicals and special collections. The main library, through participation in numerous consortiums of scientific libraries, may arrange access to full texts of several thousand titles of books and periodicals.
