This study examines the perspectives of library users regarding sustainable practices at BLDEA’s V.P. Dr. P.G. Halakatti College of Engineering & Technology, Vijayapura. A Structured questionnaire was collected from 250 respondents. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, mean scores, and rankings from several perspectives. Overall findings indicate a moderate awareness of sustainability-related concepts, with less familiarity with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Users expressed high levels of satisfaction with digital resources and ICT-enabled services. At the same time, eco-friendly infrastructure received a strong positive rating. However, waste segregation, Wi-Fi, and sustainability campaigns showed scope for improvement. The study recommends strengthening waste management, enhancing digital infrastructure, and organizing awareness to align library facilities with sustainability goals.
