The college library bears out the essence of author Laura Purdie Salas’ observation, “A well-stocked, well-staffed library is like a gardener who plants books, knowledge, and dreams, and grows readers, learners and doers “. The Library is located on the first floor, at one end of the corridor, secluded from the noisy and crowded section of the main building. It is fully air conditioned with sufficient seating capacity and an annex, meant exclusively for the faculty. The stock of books is 70000, with new additions made on a regular basis corresponding to requirements arising from change in texts or syllabi, in different courses. Text books are also available in sufficient numbers apart from books for referential reading. The stock of Journals/Periodicals and Daily Newspapers is continually reviewed and replenished in keeping with the constant surge of information in various fields. Some of the advanced facilities are continuous automation of the library with the use of ILMS having the latest software SOUL 2.0 and Online Public Access Catalogue. The facility of institutional subscription of e-resources provides the faculty access to online information / material in their respective fields. The library has a method of computing per day usage by the faculty and students.
