“Library is not just about lending and borrowing the books but it is a hub of all learning activities.”
Library of Dombivli Shikshan Prasarak Mandal’s K. V. Pendharkar College is among the large academic libraries in the district. Established along with the foundation of the institution, the library is well known for its enriched collection and remarkable user-centric services.
We have a fully accommodating library with 73,000+ books and Reading Room facilities. The library is automated using SLIM (Software for Library Information Management).
The library maintains a rich and diverse collection in multiple formats to support teaching, learning, and research activities.
The college is a registered member of the INFLIBNET-NLIST database, providing students and faculty access to a vast digital knowledge repository.
One of the oldest and most prestigious competitions conducted by the institution. Students apply with details of their reading interests, recently read books, and a critical book review. Selected participants appear for a personal interview before the selection committee to identify the best reader.
Established in 2019–20 to inculcate reading habits among students. Members meet regularly to discuss books and literary works.

Book exhibitions are organized periodically to create awareness about the rich library collection and encourage students to explore diverse academic and reference materials.
