The library has been named after the founder Principal of the college Late Rajabala Das. It has an impressive collection of books, journals, newspapers and magazines. The general library with its open-stack system and spacious reading room provides an atmosphere conducive to the excitement of mental discovery.

Each student is allowed to borrow two books at a time. A TDC Major student may borrow two additional books. Moreover, the departmental libraries maintained by both Arts and Science departments provide additional help to students and teachers in their academic pursuits.
