At the speed at which technology is developing, the library's function must be rethought and redesigned. A comprehensive range of learning environments and informative resources can be found in the library of Mar Thoma Teachers' Training College in Edakulam.

In 1995, the main goal of the central library at Mar Thoma Teachers' Training College in Edakulam was to supply library materials to the campus community. Since the beginning, the library has been a key player in all information projects. Easily accessible, the central library is situated in the center of the campus. Books, journals, magazines, CD-ROMs, back issues of periodicals, past year's exam papers, and more are all part of the library's extensive collection of documents. We subscribe to more than ten journals in both Malayalam and English, and we have a small library of more than 6700 books. The resources are updated frequently to meet the demands of the teaching and learning community.

Books are organized on shelves based on their classification using the Dewey Decimal Classification system. "LIBSOFT," the most flexible library automation program, is used to automate the library. There is a reference area with a laptop charging station and a sizable reading room. Free Internet access is also offered to staff and students during working hours.
