The history of the college library is as old as the college itself, having progressed steadily since 1968. Its primary role is to build and organise a collection that meets the needs of teacher-educators and teacher-trainees, while helping them stay current with innovations and research in education. The library regularly organises orientation programmes, book exhibitions and new-arrival displays to build reading habits among pupil-teachers, who visit the library regularly.
