The library at Mercy College was established in 1964 and a new block, ‘EKATHA’ was added in January 1992 as part of the Silver Jubilee memorial of the college. The library underwent a major refurbishment and transformation in 2005-06, with the work being completed in 2006. In addition to the resources that have been added in terms of books and journals, the library refurbishment has resulted in a completely automated, library system with OPAC facility to deal with the demands of the student and teaching body.
