The Central Library of the University, established in 2000, has been in its phase of infancy during the early three years in regard to organisation and services, but it has had an appreciable pace of crawling, standing and walking during later years to enter the phase of childhood.

Starting with a meagre collection of 657 volumes in 2000 it has now built a collection of 14069 books and subscription to 92 learned journals besides news papers and magazines by 31 March 2008. Besides faculty members, supporting staff and researchers it is open for use by students of the university mainly residing in Allahabad and adjoining areas. The Central Library is at the apex with the five Regional Centers and more than 300 Study Centers as it's service points where study materials and reference books are placed for easy and ready access.

The five Regional Centers have their own libraries with effective, useful and comprehensive collection to serve the students and counsellors mainly through study centers falling under their jurisdiction and also directly wherever easily accessible. Besides these, the one Centre for Excellence one each at Allahabad and , have their own libraries. The Library plans to cater to the needs of students and counsellors spread over far and wide under its jurisdiction by adopting the new methods for delivering study materials in the form of whole, a part or an extract of a document through reprographic reproduction and personal courier or postal mode of delivery and also through electronic document delivery system via its Study Centers or directly to the students, whichever is feasible. On the face of it this may seem a distant possibility, but with the pace this university along with its Library is marching ahead, it is likely to be a ground reality sooner. Ultimately the Library will transform itself into a digital library with digitized text materials to be available to students and counsellors at their desk as and when they desire. The Library is presently providing Internet surfing facilities. E-documents collection and online journals are receiving special emphasis.

The library has acquired necessary infrastructure like computer, scanner, printer etc. for talking up the computerisation. The computerisation is in progress
