In light of rapid technological advancement, the role of the library needs to be redefined and reshaped. In the central library of Mar Thoma Teachers' Training College, Edakulam, a variety of learning environments as well as a wide range of informational resources are available.

A central library was established at Mar Thoma Teachers' Training College, Edakulam in 1995 with the primary objective of providing library resources to the campus community. In all information initiatives, the library has played an important role since its inception. Located in the heart of the campus, the central library is easily accessible. The library has a very rich collection of documents, including books, journals, periodicals, CD-ROMs, back issues of periodicals, previous year's question papers, etc. We have a modest collection of over 6900 books and subscribe to over 10 periodicals in both English and Malayalam. In order to meet the needs of the learning and teaching community, the resources are continually updated.

Using the Dewey Decimal Classification system, books are arranged on shelves according to their classification. The library is automated using the most versatile library automation software “LIBSOFT”. There is a large area for reading and a reference area with a laptop charging facility. Staff and students are also provided with free access to the Internet during working hours.
