INTRODUCTION:

A college library is a cornerstone of academic life, serving as a central hub for knowledge, research, and intellectual growth. It provides a vast collection of books, journals, articles, and other resources, offering students, faculty, and researchers the tools they need to explore diverse subjects and deepen their understanding. Beyond its core function as a repository of information, a college library plays a vital role in fostering critical thinking, collaboration, and lifelong learning. It provides a quiet and conducive environment for studying and research, while also offering opportunities for engagement through workshops, lectures, and cultural events. In essence, a college library is more than just a place to borrow books; it is a catalyst for intellectual curiosity and academic success.
