The word Library originated from the Latin word Libraria, whose meaning is the house of books, i.e. the place where books are kept. There is no such definition of the library that can describe it clearly, but the aims of the library have always been same. Libraries also store spiritual and religious as well as books of inspiration and ideological themes. These books satisfy the spiritual, religious and ideological needs of their readers. Their main function is to provide support in research and resource linkage for students and faculty of the educational institution. Library provides current awareness services related to education, social affairs as well as historical affairs. Hence libraries also play an important role in inspiring people to high ideals in life and inculcate values in them.
