Punjab Agricultural University Library was established with a meagre collection of 200 books in 1959 in College of Agriculture. Foundation stone for the present building was laid in February 1969 by Dr M. S. Randhawa. The library was shifted in the new building in 1972. However, at present, this temple of learning, with its beautiful five storey building, with covered area of 93,320 sq. ft., centrally air-conditioned and surrounded by lush green lawns, dotted with beautiful ornamental trees and pollution free environment has grown into one of the best libraries of the region - a place of pilgrimage for scholars and faculty members from all over the country. This library has 760 seating capacity in its Five Reading Halls. The aim of the library is to provide rich knowledge to its users and to extend it further through information technology, automation and networking.
