The Massey University Library was first established at Massey Agricultural College in 1930 when the first librarian, Erica Baillie, was appointed at the college.  The library of the Palmerston North University College became part of the Massey College Library after the merger of the two institutions in 1963. With the expansion of the university to other locations, site libraries were established. These include the Auckland campus library in 1993, the Hokowhitu site library in 1996 (since closed) with the merger with Palmerston North College of Education, and Wellington campus library in 1999 with the merger with Wellington Polytechnic. For a time in the 2000s, a site library was also operated at Ruawharo in Napier.<ref>{{Cite journal |last=Marsden |first=Lucy |date=2011 |title=Heart of the university: The Massey University Library |url=https://tamiro.massey.ac.nz/nodes/view/11510#idx179070 |journal=Manawatū Journal of History |issue=7 |pages=39–49}}</ref>

Like the university, the library has grown exponentially since the 1960s. It caters for both on-campus and distance students. Māori materials are well represented in the library collections. Among the collections with Māori material are the Ngā Kupu Ora collection, Māori Land Court Minute Books and the Bagnall collection. Heritage collections administered by the library include the Library Special Collections and the [[Massey University Archives]].<ref>{{Cite web |title=Campus libraries and off-campus library services Te ratonga whare pukapuka o roto, o waho |url=https://www.massey.ac.nz/study/library/campus-libraries-and-off-campus-library-services/ |access-date=15 November 2024 |website=Massey University}}</ref>
