Chhaygaon College Library

A library is the heart of any educational institution and the Chhaygaon College Library also not less. It is the hub of all the academic activities, which supports the institutional goal of achieving excellence in education and research. The library started its functioning in 1974 as soon as the establishment of the college. The College Library has a wide collection of more than 30,000 books (including textbooks and reference books). Apart from books, the library has a good collection of journals, newspapers, previous year’s question papers, etc. The library remains open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on all working days and providing open access for all the library users. The library has a web page and a Facebook Page through which we are trying to provide web-based services to our users. The Library is partially automated using the SOUL 2.0 (Software for University Libraries) software developed by INFLIBNET Center, an autonomous body of UGC.

Five Laws of Library Science

• Books are for use.
• Every reader his / her book.
• Every book its reader.
• Save the time of the reader.
• The library is a growing organism.
