About Library

The heart of every great college is its library. At PSSHDA College, we have transformed our library into a vibrant center of academic excellence, research, and learning that befits the unique educational experience college provides. The Library is central and common to all the academic activities of the College. It provides a place to study, material for study and services to assist study.

With a computerized database of books in the Library, the search and retrieval of books is much easier. The College Library offers a powerful combination of traditional resources, sophisticated technology, and well-designed spaces to support transformative education. A great strength of a college education is the experience of community, and the College Library is at the center of that experience.

Library is said to be a "Knowledge Hub" of any academic institute. Adapting this in its true spirit, the Institution offers one of the richest central library facilities with a fully computerized easy-access system. The library includes a large air-conditioned reading hall with 100 seating capacity and is equipped with intranet services connected to all departments of the college. The entire library area is under CCTV surveillance.
