The National Library of Zimbabwe is located in Bulawayo second biggest city in Zimbabwe.[1] It was established under the National Library and Documentation Service (NLDS) Act Chapter 25:10 act of 1985 which was passed by the Zimbabwean Government in 1985.[2] The main purpose of the library is to provide book lending service, inter-library loans and act as a National Public Library in Zimbabwe.[citation needed]
The library used to be managed by 30 librarians but due to lack of support it is now staffed by 5 workers.[3]
