“Without libraries what have we? We have no
past and no future”- Ray Bradbury Perhaps no statement could have captured the
significance of a library to a nation in more precise terms than this statement
of Bradbury. A well-furnished library indubitably is one of the precious assets
of an educational institution, for the library reflects the heritage, excellence
and culture of intellectual acumen of that institution. Though the library of
our college is in its nascent stage, with the financial aid of the Government
of West Bengal it has started flourishing remarkably and it will certainly
emerge as an enviable pride of the college in the days to come. Presently, our
library can boast of a wealth of 2160 books with the Departments of Bengali,
English, History, Philosophy and Economics having 480, 213, 261, 340 and 126
books respectively. The Disciplines of Science of our college comprising
Geology, Physics and Mathematics, have 133, 182 and 142 books respectively
while the Department of Commerce has in its possession 141 books and the
compulsory subject of Environmental Science, in spite of not having any
separate department, features no less than 142 books. In order to cater to the
intellectual needs of the students, the library provides reading room facilities
twice a week- on Wednesday and Friday- in addition to department-wise regular
schedule in the routine to issue books to them. Moreover, two computers have
already been allotted for the students in the library so that they can avail
internet facilities for the purpose of their studies at their easiest
convenience. The college authority is determined to furnish the library with several
other facilities and to provide the best and greatest imaginable access of the
library to the students so that they can evince the Paradise there, to borrow
the words of Jorge Luis Borges.
