The Chandmal Tarachand Bora College Library was established in 1968. Right from its inception, it has become the “heart of the campus”. The library occupies a prominent and integral part in the teaching and learning process of the institution.

The growth and development of the library goes hand-in-hand with that of the increasing number of readers and their demands. Initially the library had a collection of 2000 books (in 1968), which has now increased to more than 80,000 books, 49 print journals and more than 6000+ e-journals. The library work is administered by Library Committee.

The library is spread across a total area of 10,500 sq.ft. The various sections of the library are: Circulation Counter, Office Area, Periodicals Sections, Under Graduate/ Junior College Stack Room, Post Graduate & Research Stack Room, UGC-Network Resource Centre, Reprographic Room, Book Exhibition Area, Teachers Reading Hall, PG/Research Reading Hall, Boys Reading Hall, Girls Reading Hall, UPS-Battery Room and Store Room.
