About the College Library
and a periodical magazine.
On 12th February 2025, the library was officially relocated to a newly constructed facility and renamed the Central Library, Koklabari Chapaguri College. This transition represents a significant milestone in the evolution of the library and marks the beginning of a new chapter in our commitment to fostering academic excellence.
The new library building is equipped with modern infrastructure, offering an enhanced learning environment and improved access to a wide array of academic resources. Our collection has significantly expanded to include a diverse range of books, journals, and reference materials that cater to the varied academic interests and research needs of our college community.
A notable advancement in our library services includes the implementation of KOHA, an integrated library management system that streamlines library operations, enhances user experience, and ensures greater efficiency. Our dedicated library team is committed to providing support, guidance, and quality service to all users.
As we embrace this new chapter, we remain steadfast in our mission to promote literacy, lifelong learning, and community engagement. We warmly invite all members of the college to explore and benefit from the resources and services offered by the Central Library.
