Hi Nancy:

Great idea to ask around.

My suggestion is for a name that is inclusive and enticing for most people.

Something such as "Geospatial Library" or "Spatial Library" at the
University of Zimbabwe
or "Zimbabwean Geospatial Library" o "Zimbabwean Spatial Library" or
something like it.

I'd also would check how the name sounds in the different local languages.

Good luck.

Lucia
