The Government Law College library provides students with extensive facilities to maximize their knowledge in the field of law. It is probably the most frequented section of the college, and most certainly a haven for dedicated law students.
The Harilal J. Kania Memorial Library and Reading Room on the third floor of the college has been a part of this college since 1952. This Reading Room was created from the Harilal J. Kania Memorial Fund, which was instituted to honour the memory of Sir Harilal J. Kania, the first Chief Justice and an ex-student of GLC. This Reading Room can accommodate as many as 200 students at a time.
The other two floors, i.e. the first and the second floors of the annex building, house various books on case law, some of which are more than a hundred years old. There are more than 36,000 books in the library. The Library also possesses the original copy of the Indian Penal Code as drafted by Lord Macaulay in the year 1886.
The students can avail of library facilities from 9:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Timing is extended at the time of examinations. For easy and prompt access, all books are catalogued manually as well as on the computer.
