The study sought to examine the library and information services in support of distance education at Mashonaland Central Regional Library in Bindura. The research methods were mixed-research designs in which both qualitative and quantitative techniques were employed. These included review of related literature, interviews and questionnaires. The findings were that the lack of computers and internet services were the major constraints that hindered the students from using the library. This had been indicated by 91% of the respondents.
