The library at the Minggugong Campus was completed in 1984, while the Jiangjunlu Campus library opened in 2014. A new library at Tianmuhu Campus is expected to open in 2025. The three active libraries, including the temporary facilities at the Tianmuhu Campus, together cover 45,600 square meters and offer over 5,500 reading seats.
The library system supports NUAA's strengths in aerospace and civil aviation, with collections emphasizing key disciplines such as mechanics, computer science, electronics, automation, mechanical engineering, and materials science.
It holds more than 3.32 million print volumes and provides access to 183 Chinese and international databases, along with over 14.5 million digital resources.
Equipped with advanced technology, all library locations support IPv6, provide full wireless coverage, and offer a wide range of self-service facilities such as RFID-based borrowing and returns, printing, and smart storage. Other advanced facilities include AR/VR equipment, digital pianos, immersive reading areas, and multimedia rooms.
The library is also a cultural center, organizing reading promotion events around traditional festivals and key academic seasons like admissions, orientation, and graduation.
It hosts several provincial and ministerial information service platforms and offers a master's program in Library and Information Science. By combining knowledge services, research support, and cultural engagement, the NUAA library plays a vital role in the university's academic and community life.
