The Library, being the heart of the college, supports the college in its mission to advance learning and knowledge by linking theory and practice in all disciplines, and to prepare students for lifelong learning, leadership, and careers in a changing multicultural world.

The GCCBA Library has been set up on a modernized platform to cater to the information needs of the students, faculty, and staff members of the college. The Library functions as the primary information resource centre and repository of printed and electronic resources for teaching and research activities at the institute.

Apart from textbooks and recommended reading materials prescribed for each course offered at the institute, the library houses a growing collection of reports, multi-volume reference works, dictionaries, encyclopedias, handbooks, and more.

E-Resources and Subscriptions

The library facilitates access to electronic journals through its participation in consortia, such as N-LIST. The library also subscribes to several e-journals directly from publishers as well as through reputed subscription agencies.

• Current Collection: 6589 books (available on shelves) and thousands of electronic books and journals.
• Online Databases: EBSCO, PROWESS, and N-LIST.
• OPAC: The Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC), available on public domain, enables users to search documents in the library's possession.
• E-Resources Section: A separate section is provided in the library to browse e-books, e-contents, and e-journals.

These steps greatly enhance the library’s efficiency in making resources available to the academic community at large and also enable the institute to participate in various inter-library initiatives at national and international levels.
