The library was established within the 1960's. The library facility between the period of the 60's and 70's, was a 20' x 15' room that accommodated approximately 10 students at a time. However, due to the constant interruptions of smells from the Chemistry Lab and the noise made by students on their way to class, the library changed their location in the 80's. By 1988, the library boasted of an increase in size with a 34' x 24' room, and could accommodate 36 students comfortably. They now saw opportunities to add new spaces for periodicals and increase their collection. The library was also able to have air-conditioned units and the place was now conducive to students to engage in non-interrupted studies and relaxation. 

The first librarian of St Joseph's Convent, St Joseph was Mrs Cheryl Juanette. Before she became the librarian, she was Teacher in charge of the English Literature Department within the school. By 1988, the Library had a Librarian and a Library Assistant. The Library Assistant was Ms Hardaye Gangoo.

 In the beginning, the library had started with two small boxes of books for which it has increased. In 1988, the library had approximately 4000 volumes of materials in  titles on Computer Science, Business, and Home Economics. The library had developed a system of keeping inventory of books and resources by using a system called the Index Card Catalogue. This catalogue consisted of  boxes in which individual cards were organized by Subject and Author name. These cards described the information such as  the location on the library shelves and its content. Within the 2000's, the library has advanced to using a computerised record, the Alexandria Catalogue, that replaced the Card Catalogue. This sytem provides the description of the book and the location of the material on the shelves in a virtual database. The library maintains the use of the book cards to ensure that there physical records that can match their computerised records.
