One of the major aspirations of the DIT is to continuously expand its library services in order to foster learning skills of its students and improve professional working conditions of staff. The Institute has at present a library whose collection is geared primarily towards providing materials and documentation services to support teaching and learning activities. The collections include materials for major courses in the fields of Electrical Engineering, Civil Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Electronics and Telecommunications Engineering, Laboratory Technology and Computer studies. Also, it offers materials for supporting subjects such as Mathematics, Communication Skills, Development Studies, Labour Law and Engineering Management. According to the statistics of the previous stocktaking the library has a total of 5,000 documents. These include up-to-date textbooks, professional journals, theses, manuals, directories, bibliographies, reports, research papers, encyclopedias and handbooks.

The library facilities are available to all students with valid Identity Cards. However, for students, a token membership fee of five thousand shillings (5,000/=) annually is contributed.
