The library at SJMVS Arts and Commerce College , Hubli was established in 1997. An educational institution without a library is just a house without a kitchen when students read in hi classes, their desire for knowledge increases. Desire knowledge is best satisfied when the students enter a room of books. In college libraries, there are rich varieties of journals and periodicals. It is rightly said that a library reservoir of knowledge.
Although many students go to library, it is a place of silence. There is no noise here. Everybody treats it as a sacred place. There are different catalogues of books. There is a catalogue for all books of literature. Science books are catalogued separately.  The students remain so busy with their classes that they seldom find sufficient time for an adequate use of the library. Yet university education will be meaningless unless the students develop a broad outlook. They should read books on a variety of subjects get suitable materials from reference books and be in constant touch with journals to keep themselves abreast of the current affairs. They will find the teacher and the librarians helpful to them in selecting their books properly.
