The SANBI has two main libraries, The Mary Gunn Library in Pretoria and the Harry Molteno Library at Kirstenbosch in Cape Town.   They rank among the biggest botanical libraries in the southern hemisphere and are a valuable resource for information on Southern African flora and biodiversity.   There are ten small regional satellite libraries. 

The mission of SANBI libraries is to meet the information needs of all SANBI staff and to address a public demand for comprehensive, easily accessed information on the biodiversity of southern Africa.
