The University Library was started in Kalsia House with a collection of Sanskrit books and was, later, shifted to two locations: the main library in the College of Education and the Indic Studies Section on the top floor of the Administrative Block. Thereafter, a need was felt to established library in an independent building to meet the increasing demand for library service in the university. The foundation stone of the current building was laid on July 17, 1967 and the library moved to a new two storey building on July 18, 1972 covering an area of 33,000 sq. ft. In 1984-85, due to space constraints, the building was extended, increasing the area to 49,230 sq. ft. During the university’s Golden Jubilee year, an additional 57,500 sq. ft. was added with the building of the Golden Jubilee Reading Hall and bringing total area to 106,730 sq. ft.  Finally, the Savitri Bai Phule Block extended the library area by another 7,475 sq. ft., thus making the total area to 114,205 sq. ft.
