Genesis and Growth
- M.G.M college library started functioning from 27-6-1946 when it was housed in a small room with hardly 1000 volumes in its book stack to begin with has now reached more than one lakh volumes which could do credit even to a University.
- When the college was shifted to its own building on 27-6-1951 at Sagri , the library was shifted to a fairly bigger hall atop the Administrative block of the Main Building , having four rooms and this made it possible to provide more library facilities to the students whose number was growing year after year.
- The generous gift of Rs.10,000/- made to the College Library by the Canara Banking Corporation Ltd. in the year 1954 was responsible for the further growth of the Library which was named after Canara Banking Corporation, the biggest donor of the Library , by his Holiness Sri Vishwesha Thirtha Swamiji of Pejavar Mutt in the same year.
- Granthaloka was inaugurated in the year 2002.
