Mount Carmel College Library
A library, to modify the famous metaphor of Socrates, should be the delivery room for the birth of ideas - a place where history comes to life.
In Mount Carmel College, the library is this and much more, it is the centre of learning and knowledge with the facilities of well trained staff, an automated library system and a wide range of academic resources such as books, periodicals, online periodicals and CD's.
Mount Carmel College gets an annual Management and UGC grant of 7-8 lakhs. With this grant, every day sees the arrival of new books. Each department is given a part of the grant to use so that faculty can purchase books that make a difference to their courses.
Mount Carmel offers a host of languages that are taught to students. And so the library takes it upon itself to equip itself with reference books in: 'Hindi, Tamil, French, Sanskrit, Kannada, and German'.
With so many books entering the portals of the library, the library staff ensures that dilapidated and old books are disposed off. In 10 years the library has got rid of their old books 3 times.
