The library is the central part of the academic and research activities of the institute. Its mission is to provide collections and services that support the educational goals of the institution. Exclusive block for library was constructed in 1991. On April 25th 2013 the foundation stone of the new library building was blessed by Most Rev. Fr. P.Soundararaju, SDB,DD,Ph.D., Bishop of Vellore.
The New Diamond Jubilee Memorial Library block was blessed on May 25th 2017 by Rev. Fr. K. M. Jose, SDB, Provincial of Chennai and was inaugurated by Rev. Sr. Magnificat Soosai FMA, Provincial of Chennai. The college is justifiably proud of its library housed in a three- stored building with rich collection of resources.

RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) based Library Management System was implemented in February 2018.The books are classified using ‘Dewey Decimal Classification’ system and are arranged in the shelf accordingly.
