At the initial stages after the inception of the University of Kalyani in the year 1961 the Central Library had no building of its own. The library housed initially in the B.T. College building. It was thereafter shifted to a hostel building and from there to the sociology building and lastly to the administrative building. Thereafter it has been shifted to its own two-storied building in July, 1979. In a lively University campus, the Central Library serves as the hive of academic activities for students, scholars, staffs and faculty members in the pursuit of excellence in their respective area of studies.
