The SNIST Library System consists of a Central Library with 17 departmental Libraries and one City Centre Library which collectively support the teaching, research and extension programmes of the Institute. All students, faculty members and employees of the Institute are entitled to make use of the Library facilities on taking library membership. The Library, besides having 85,000 thousands huge collection of books on engineering, science and humanities offers library services through its various divisions. Initially setup in 1997, the Central Library will move to its new building in the middle of 2010.

To make the Sreenidhi Institute of Science& Technology Library a 21st Century Knowledge Centre and to facilitate the transition of today’s engineering society to a knowledge base society of tomorrow, the knowledge generated by the faculty and students of SNIST has been digitized and made accessible through Intranet or Internet. Along with the automation of library services, we have move towards the digitization of library resources, so that the services of Virtual Library and Knowledge Centre may be provided parallel with the Traditional Library.

SNIST’s Library system is one of the State greatest academic resources, and there is much to be done to carry it forward into the new digital environment, even as we maintain the strength of our traditional collections" "How we move ahead will have deep implications for the future of learning, not only here but in an increasingly interconnected world."

 The program will continue the Library's work to make digital information accessible to its users and to enhance access to traditional -- that is, paper – collections.
