M.A.M. Central Library was set up with the inception of the College in 1981 keeping in mind the views of Dr.S.R.Ranganathan, the Father of Library Science in India. The main objective of the library is to disseminate information to the faculty, scholars, students, teaching and non-teaching staff of this college. The library has a rich collection of text books, reference books, journals, magazines, CD’s, newspapers etc. to provide various types of information to its users.

The stock of both text and reference books in the library has undergone considerable expansion and an exhaustive collection of more than 28000 books adequately meet the varied requirement of all students and teachers. There is a regular annual addition to the stock of books. Besides, students are encouraged to read newspapers, magazine, and e-journals (which are regularly supplied) to keep abreast of the times.
