Bajkul Milani Mahavidyalaya Library was started along with the establishment of the College in the year 1964 under Calcutta University. After 1996 more academic departments were started and gradually needs of the users were increased and the Library began to grow up to keep pace with the growing academic needs of the students, teacher and non-teaching employees. The library system is at present being converted to IT based one with the help of SOUL, a software designed by INFLIBNET. Our ultimate aim is to provide the right document/information to the right user at the right time with help of modern technology as well as human touch. The Central Library has a total area of 4000sq.ft.with more than 28000 books
