The library is considered the heart of every academic institution, as it plays a vital role in supporting education and research. Manjunatha College has a well-equipped library located on the ground floor of the college building. Spanning an area of approximately 2,000 square feet, the library has the capacity to accommodate around 80 students at a time. Its primary objective is to facilitate the teaching and learning process by providing students with updated information, knowledge, and access to various learning resources while ensuring the effective utilization of available facilities.

The library currently houses a collection of over 20,000 books and subscribes to 56 periodicals. All books are systematically arranged on the shelves according to the Dewey Decimal Classification (DDC) system, which ensures organized and easy access to library resources.

To streamline library operations, the college library uses the SOUL 3.0 multi-user Library Management Software, which facilitates the automation of various in-house activities. A comprehensive catalogue of the library’s collection has been developed using this software, allowing both students and staff members to easily browse and search for available books. The system also simplifies the book lending and returning procedures, thereby improving the efficiency and effectiveness of library management, particularly at the circulation desk.
