About The Library
Libraries offer services beyond just lending books, including computer access, community events, and educational programs. They are crucial in promoting literacy, intellectual freedom, and cultural diversity and are vital resources for individuals, communities, and society. With the recent advances in digital technology, the nature of libraries has changed dramatically. As more information has become available to the public through a wide range of media, the traditional concept of the library is being redefined. The library has long since ceased to be a mere repository or search tool for physical collections; instead, it now houses content using the most advanced technologies, including digital collections, social media, and multimedia resources.
Sankardev College Postgraduate Library started in the year 2022 with two departments Khasi and Teaching English to Speakers of Other Languages (TESOL).
