Library & Information Centre |
|
| |
 |
The Library was established in the year 1973. The constant growth of library with study materials and infrastructure is possible because of our dynamic Secretary Dr.M.Aruchami, for whom “Library is a nerve centre of any educational institution”.
In the year 2000, the library was shifted to a new building and in the year 2004, the library was upgraded from Library to Library & Information Centre. In the year 2004, it was recognized as the research centre by Annamalai University. In 2006, it was expanded to the First floor with Computer Science and humanities subject books and Mini Theatre. |

Computerized Library of Kongunadu Arts and Science College is very impressive and well maintained. Students are trained so as to use it to full capacity. We are visiting this library to improve our own college Library.

I am thoroughly impressed by the collection and services of the library. Very very proactive indeed. I am sure the librarian, Mr.Senthilkumar is an asset to this institution. I may refer this library as one of the “Models” for any upcoming institution. If any student fail to use this wonderful library, it is a grave error on her/his part. Appreciate the management for all their foresight.
