A library is said to be the heart and soul of a college. The quality of education given in college can be roughly judged
from the type of books in its library. Buildings alone do not make a college. Every college must have a good library. Our college library is housed in a big building. It has about thirty two thousand books on various subjects. Students come to the library and take books of their choice either for reading in the library itself or for study at home.
Our college library is under the charge of a qualified librarian. She is an efficient and hard working lady. She is very helpful to students and members of the staff. She encourages that students to read as many books as possible. She is a strict disciplinarian. She makes sure that there is perfect discipline in the library. Our library is assisted by an assistant librarian, four restorers and three peons. The catalogue (list of the books in the library) is up to date. The books have been listed catalogued) author wise and subject wise.
The library is divided into three major sections. The different sections are the general section, the reference book section and the M.A. Section. The library has a big reading room which can provide seating accommodation to about two hundred students at a time. A visitor to the library is impressed by the perfect silence in the library. Things move very smoothly in our college library.
There are a number of daily newspapers in Hindi, Punjabi and English in the library. Beside, there are about thirty two Journals. There is a separate reading room for the staff. The magazines or periodicals are placed on a big central table. Newspapers are kept on reading stands. The reading room is crowded throughout the day. It is a rewarding experience to wit in the library for one or two hours and study the magazines and newspapers.
Our principal takes a keen interest in the smooth running of the library. He visits the library once or twice during working time. During the examination days, our library remains open for about fourteen hours a day.
I also take full advantage of the library facilities. I get two books issue every fortnight I am very proud of our college
library. I think this is one of the best libraries in the state.
