The Central Library of Netaji Mahavidyalaya began its journey in 1950 with a modest collection of 290 books, thanks to the generous donations from local academicians who contributed their valuable books to enrich its offerings. Over the years, support from UGC grants and governmental funding has significantly contributed to the library's development. As of 2024, the library boasts an impressive collection of 60,600 printed books, 35 print magazines or periodicals, and e-journals subscribed to through N-list.
The college library system comprises a Central Library and 22 seminar or departmental libraries. A key feature of the library is its "open access" policy, which encourages users to explore the collection freely. The library is equipped with a computerized bibliographic database, bar-coded transaction facilities, and an online public access catalog. Students also benefit from reprographic facilities, and the entry-exit and baggage counters are monitored by CCTV for security.
The Central Library serves not only the college's students and faculty but also external students and academicians. It plays a crucial role in advancing its users' academic development while also fulfilling its societal responsibilities. One of its noteworthy initiatives is the preservation of local heritage through the development of a local history collection, recognized as a best practice within the college.
Beyond academic support during their college years, the library continues to support students' well-being even after they graduate. It provides academic information on admission opportunities across various courses in India, along with career-related counselling services to support their professional journeys.
