About the Central Library

The Central library of Assam Women’s University was established since the inception of Assam Women’s University in 2014 but it started functioning in 2015. The Assam-typed built library is housed within the present lush green premises of the University. The library started in a humble way when it began its journey in 2015, but has now grown to be a rich source of information and learning.

The library has been intensifying its activities and services through active participation of students and faculty members of the University.
