About Central Library

Basirhat College was established on 16th November , 1947 at the Basirht Town Hall. From the very inception the College had its own library, though very small. Afterwards the College was shifted at the present location. Since then, the college library has been gradually enriched. The process of enrichment of the college Library is still going on.
