The library is the soul of any institution; Navajyothi is also having a well-established library. It is a centre of acquiring, processing, preserving and disseminating information to the user community with the motto of empowering knowledge. The library has a wide range of academic resources such as books, periodicals, online periodicals, project reports, and question banks. The college has a Library Council comprising Principal, Director, Heads of the various Departments, Librarian and Student Representatives to assist in procuring books, journals, and magazines. Library Council is responsible for the upkeep of the library facilities.
Library uses KOHA version 18, an Integrated Library Management System, for its operations. This allows users to search a book author-wise, title-wise, subject-wise. The college has a digital library section that contains E-books, E-journals and question papers of all previously conducted university examinations of the courses/programmes available in the digital library section.
