Information is an essential input to national development. The modern library has great responsibility in harnessing and utilization of information. The library and information centers strive for high quality of library services which emphasis the actual delivery of information rather than actual delivery of documents for meeting their generic as well as specific needs of the users.

​The Central Library is based on the objectives of the parent institution of MRGI. Malla Reddy University  Library follows the open access system, encouraging the user to browse freely in stock area. Standard Text books and books by authors of repute in all fields taught at the college are stocked. The University follows a policy of buying multiples copies of many of these books to make them available to a large number of students. There is no question of budget approval when it comes to the buying of books. Thus students are not likely to be handicapped for want of reference materials at any time.
