Colleges are the gateways to the higher education. College is the door step which leads a student to the treasure of knowledge. Up to the college level main focus of education lies at preparing the student to understand how to study. True education begins only after a student steps in a college. Colleges open new vistas of knowledge for the students and make them practical in responding to the problems at individual as well as social level. Apart from teaching the respective subjects, colleges are supposed to develop and enhance the creativity and learning ability among the students as well. Students are taught and trained to develop research aptitude to enter the university level. The role of library in a college is as good as of blood in our body. Besides providing stimulus to reading by procuring materials for study and research, college libraries also feed the intellect of the student, and thus serve the teaching and research needs of the faculty. No academic institute can achieve its goals without a well equipped and up to date library. Teacher as a nation builder should be highly skilled and professional with good knowledge and skills of all the latest developments at global level and such an intellect is formed and shaped only in the library. The significance of a library in an educational institution is highlighted by NKC (2007) as, “A library is not a building stacked with books – it is a repository and source of information and ideas, a place for learning and enquiry, and for the generation of thought and the creation of new knowledge.”
