The library established on 1st July, 1877, is kept alive, vibrant and running with additions of good books every year.
A special budget is allocated and a designated committee for book selection works round the year to select good books and purchase the same from various sources. The library has withstood various ups and downs during walk of 147 years till now.
In 1992 the library is awarded the most prestigious Dr. Babasaheb Ambedkar award which contains a Trophy and cash prize of Rs. Five lakhs as the best library in the post centennial category in the State of Maharashtra.
The old and very small library building is gradually expanded from time to time. In 2010 the Raja Ram Mohan Roy Foundation Kolkata, after a thorough audit and checking found the library completing all the criteria, had granted a onetime contribution of Rs.25 lakhs for expansion of the existing building to erect a two storied building which comprises two small halls of about 2500 sq. ft. on each floor.
Important is that the library trust has worked completely in democratic principles since inception but has never succumbed to any pressures of whatsoever nature and never compromised in the interest of books and readers.
In the era when other physical libraries are dying a slow death, this old lady not only survives but is vibrant and active. Now it positions and is preparing itself to cater to the tech-savvy young generation in the new 5G era. In the most important sesquicentennial year approaching in 2027, it hopes to go fully computerized and connected to the world libraries and students at large.
