LIBRRAY GUIDELINES AND POLICY

Library plays a vital role in academic and research system and that is why library is considered to be the heart of educational / research system. Without a good library and a laboratory, any college cannot ensure quality education or research. It is, however, the interest of reader rather than infrastructure that makes a library look beautiful. A good ambiance in a library are the shelves filled with manuscripts and the students silently seated with their heads down and eyes focusing on books. Ours is a very old library that occupies a munificence of generations of authors for their kind contribution in the respected fields of Science, Social Science, and Humanities. The College has a well furnished library with thousands of books of various subjects. The college has also subscribed several periodicals including magazines and news papers.

GENERAL RULES & REGULATIONS:

  • Silence is key in the library even the sound of walking shoes is indiscipline to us.
  • Books removed from the shelves should be left on the study table and no effort should be made to replace these books. Please remember that a book misplaced is a book lost.
