The Allama Iqbal Library along with its network of libraries is the largest library system in J&K State & caters to the academic needs of the university community consisting of faculty members, research scholars, post-graduate and diploma students in various disciplines. The Allama Iqbal Library has 16 Divisions in well decorated halls managed by qualified professional staff. The library also provides useful and research-oriented services to the reading community in calm, cozy and clean atmosphere. In order to support and sustain such efforts, we have created state of art infrastructure in the form of well-planned divisions and sections like International Student’s Cell, Library Auditorium, Meeting Hall, 24x7 Library facilities division, to name a few, with all modern aids and overall congenial environment. Although all these things have started exhibiting their signs in one form or the other, yet we need to remain ever ready to catch up with new trends while not forgetting our long cherished and well tested traditions.
