Library Collections at NYU Accra

The NYU Accra Reading room has a unique collection that provides students with information on the cultural, historical, scientific, and anthropological resources of Africa, and more specifically West Africa and Ghana. Required course materials, such as textbooks, make up the bulk of our collection, but we have additional readings to enrich students studies. This collection is designed to compliment those online materials provided by the NYU Libraries in New York.

  • Our books, with the exception of reference books, may be checked out for 2 weeks.
