Central Library, University of Kalyani

The University Library System was established in 1961 following the founding of the University of Kalyani in 1960 and has since played a vital role in supporting teaching, learning, and research. The present library building, inaugurated in 1979, functions as the central hub of academic information resources. Spread over 2,805 square meters within an eco-friendly green campus, the Central Library provides a conducive environment for students, teachers, and researchers. In recent years, the library has undergone significant transformation, strengthening its academic, research, technological, and user-support services. A renovation project worth approximately ₹2.55 crore modernised the library with universal accessibility features, improved reading spaces, and dedicated sections. Full automation through migration from SOUL to KOHA, integration of RFID technology, and self-service facilities have enhanced efficiency, security, and user convenience.
