Our College Library has emerged in 1968 as a Knowledge Resource Centre mainly catering to the needs of the Faculty, Administrative Staff, Research Scholars and Students towards accessing information. The approximate total area of the existing library building is 4993 sq ft. We find that the college is situated in a rural area hailing the students of poor and poor middle class families of the locality. Keeping in mind the situation and the financial inability of users we seek to do so in a personalized and hospitable atmosphere in spite of some infrastructural limitations. The College authority is keeping a close watch on the development of library services. There is a regular subscription to leading Newspapers, Magazines and Journals thereby augmenting the library as a rich source of knowledge. It consists of research books, rare collections, career related books etc. The books are classified under the scheme of Dewey Decimal Classification and the work of retro conversion is undergoing process .The entire database of the library is going to be kept in KOHA an open source Integrated Library Software.
