The library accommodates up to 65 users and houses a diverse collection of approximately 3,698 books, including 2,341 English titles and 857 Arabic titles, in addition to 500 master's and doctoral theses. It also subscribes to 15 scientific journals and magazines, providing access to a range of academic and professional publications. The library is equipped with eight computers offering internet access, online library resources, and Microsoft Office applications.
To support academic study and research in Computer Science, Software Engineering, and related computing disciplines, the library provides access to a wide range of digital resources through the Egyptian Knowledge Bank (EKB). These resources include scientific publications, conference papers, electronic books, and research databases from leading academic publishers and providers, including IEEE, Emerald, Taylor & Francis, ScienceDirect, JSTOR, Springer Nature, EBSCO, and ProQuest.
