The Central Library of Raja Peary Mohan College is situated in the Ground Floor of the new building. The Library was established way back in the year 1927 with about 1000 books, mostly obtained through donations from the founder members. For several years, the library was located in one of the small classrooms of the earlier hostel building. However, with the passage of time, as the number of books increased, the library had to be shifted to a larger hall in Room No. 101. In 1963 there was a separate library on the 3rd floor.
