The Library of this college is more than seven decades old, having a building of 9300 sq. feet in size. Being the central hub of the teaching learning process of the College, the library caters to the educational needs of the academic community. Now it is fully automated with an international software Alice for Windows, and has been networked with all the teaching departments.At present the library subscribes to 48 journals including 5 international journals. As an initiative, we have started subscription to 13 online journals also. The bound volumes of journals are kept as part of the main collection,and available for reference.Though the information literacy programs offered to the students instigated usage of the journal literature, we feel that it has to be improved more.

The selection of documents to be procured for the library is a joint effort of the academic faculty, students and librarian.However, the teaching departments contribute a lot in this process of developing a vibrant and valuable collection. We respect the privilege of each and every user of the college library to suggest procurement of required material.Regular interactions with students and faculty, both about the collection needs and the possibilities of a good collection either at service desks or at orientation sessions give rise to amendments in the policies of the library.

Library promotes cooperative collection development and resources sharing agreements that are mutually beneficial on local and regional level. Even if there are no formal agreements with another institution, we encourage consultation of resources maintained in our library by users of that institution. Right now, the U. C. College has an institutional membership in British Library at Trivandrum, and is in the process of formalizing a consortium of colleges in Kerala.
