This 1885 established library is a major cultural hub of Howrah district, the most important industrial district in West Bengal. The project copied 599 titles from the library inclusive of early Bengali film pamphlets, books on cast, local history and literary criticism. The collection is one of the most consulted collections in the region, but the library lacks infrastructure for preservation and digitisation of the collection, so digitisation was really important there. After digitisation, the library now is n a position to offer electronic access of the collection.
