The UiTM Sarawak Library started simultaneously with the establishment of ITM (now UiTM) Sarawak Branch Campus in 1973. Situated at Batu Lintang Teachers' Training College, the Campus was relocated at Semenggok in 1987 before moving to Samariang in 1989 and finally at the present site at Samarahan in 1997.

To date, the library houses a collection of 53,454 books besides other forms of print and non-print materials as well as a few databases.
