Karamat Husian Muslim Girl’s PG College can confidently claim to posses one of the best college libraries in the city, catering to the requirements of various undergraduate courses and postgraduate (English) as well. Alibis of budget constraints have never came in the way of building up a rich library which happens to be the basic necessity of an educational institution and our suppliers have never complained of delay or other problems in payment. This obviously speaks for both the sincerity of our management and the commitment of our faculty to their profession.

We are particularly proud of our collection of books on literature in English. Instead of armchair buying, the teachers have taken great pains to search out the relevant texts, critiques and reference works from the collections of various booksellers. Among the leading Indian and foreign publishers whose titles adorn the library are Anchor, Hllied, Blackwell, Cambridge University, Press, Icon, Faber, Katha, Macmillan, Mc Graw Hill, Norton, Orient Longman, Oxford University Press, Pencraft International, Penguin, Permanent Black, Pluto, Routledge, Sahitya Akademi, Seagull, Vintage, Viva, Wordsworth and Worldview etc.

The English Department has a large number of books on Literary theory, fiction, poetry, drama, theatre, linguistcs, women’s issues and cinema studies including nearly two dozen companions to the world's greatest litterateurs published by the Cambridge and other British and American Universities. Some titles which are introduced in the current syllabi of the University of Lucknow but were not available in the country like the texts of Eugene O’ Neill's play “Long Days Journey into Night” and George Lammings “Pleasure of Exile” – have been specially imported for our library. Very few libraries in the country possess these titles in the original.

During an inspection of library Late Prof. B.N. Singh, HOD, Department of English, Lucknow University, was impressed by our collection on Post Colonial Literature and was pleasantly surprised to see a copy of Eucke Bochmen’s “Colonial & Post colonial Litrature" on the shelf. We are proud to possess and indeed teach from a 1923 publication of Matthew Arnold’s “Culture and Anarchy”, albiet yellow and brittle with age, and we are equally proud of our collection on SAARC literature, the most recent addition to the syllabus in 2008.

The library subscribes to a number of journals, newspapers and magazines. The Library practices the Open Access System. Certain days of the week are earmarked for B.A., B. Sc; Part. I. Part II and Part III students for issue and return of books. This way, the students can peruse through the entire collection of books available in the library.

Reference service is available in the library (assistance in searching and locating documents and assistance to catalogues etc.)

Arrangement of collection is subject wise, so one can easily locate the books. Besides the general collection, the library also has a good collection of reference materials like encyclopedias, dictionaries and manuals.

Library Automation process is going on in full swing. Hopefully it will be completed in the coming session.

Hostel accommodation provided within the secure and quiet atmosphere of the college campus enjoys the reputation of fostering physical, spiritual and intellectual growth in its inmates and the alumni fondly recall their stay in the hostel as one of their most cherished experiences because of their sense of community living. There are 225 seats and 35 rooms in the New Hostel, meant for undergraduate, P.G. and B.Ed students. Hostel accommodation is inadequate to meet its ever-rising demand .On an average, in the Degree classes and above, over 100 girls are denied hostel admission due to lack of space.

Similarly a separate hostel is available for intermediate students which have 200 seats and students from primary to intermediate level are admitted to this hostel. Overall about 400 seats are available for Degree and Intermediate students.

A unique feature of the hostel is the large prayer room where the hostellers can pray and meditate any time of the day, providing the right environment and ambience for spiritual upliftment. There is a Grievance Redressal Cell comprising of the principal, the warden and members of the Hostel Committee who ensure the smooth functioning of the hostel, by timely redressal of the hostel problems. The Hostel Committee, comprising of staff members periodically makes surprise visits to the hostel to check the discipline, cleanliness, hygiene and general administration.

Every care has been taken to ensure the safety and security of girls in the hostel, for which a new computerized system has been installed at the reception with two lady receptionists. The computer is equipped with full details of each girl with her photograph along with visitors who have been authorized by her parents to visit the hostel and meet the girl. The pass is issued to each visitor from reception through which he/she can meet her ward in the hostel. No other person allowed to meet the girl in the hostel.

The College Management is always looking at new ways to improve facilities for students. A new double storied building housing the canteen on the ground floor and a common room for the students on the first floor has come up on the campus.
