ABOUT
A library is said to be the heart and soul of a college. The quality of education given in a college can be roughly judged from the type of books and conducive environment in its library. Building along do not reflect the quality. Every college must have a good library. Melamora College library was started in 1987. In the beginning,it had a small room and only a few books there. Gradually number of collection as well as services have been improved.
Now there are 7000 books, 2 newspapers, 1 magazine in our library. Faculties and office staffs have membership with the admitted students in the college library. We have been awarding the “BEST LIBRARY USER” among the users to promote reading habits and it is distributed on the Library Day. The library also published handwritten magazine “GRANTHAKUTY” with collection from students and faculty members. Considering the fact that majority of the users belong to economically poor families the library takes extra care of them.
