GENERAL LIBRARY
In 1999, our library opened its doors with 1175 books and total size of 2135 square feet, the institution has the necessary infrastructure to guarantee an effective learning experience. Substantial collections of academic books, journals, periodicals, research projects, other acknowledged literary works, and newspapers are stored in the College library.
Students get access to these books in order to broaden their knowledge and comprehension of a variety of topics. The college library serves as a vital centre for student life. There, students can borrow books, do their research, locate a quiet study space, and perhaps even skim magazines. The internet, e-books, e-journals, and other resources made available in the digital library can be used by the students and Faculty member for their research.
There is a regular subscription to leading Newspapers, Magazines and Journals thereby augmenting the library as a rich source of knowledge. The feedback from users of the Library testify that they have always cherished memories of having availed the services of this treasure-house of knowledge in the past decades.

In order to fully computerize all library operations by the academic year 2022–2023, the library has begun work on a cloud-based "ERP" library module.Currently, the Library running by the ILMS ERP is an application programme that is entirely cloud-based and was created with the help of the librarians after careful consideration of both their and the patrons' needs with regard to all library activities.
