This University is the proud possessor
of a magnificent library which has as its nucleus 70,935 volumes of
rare books, journals and manuscripts donated by the liberal
Darbhanga Raj in 1975. It is gathered from oral tradition that the
Raj library was built around the acquisitions made through auction
purchase of the personal library of the former British Prime
Minister Gladstone, whose signature and notigs can indeed be seen on
the pages of many books. Besides these collections the University
during the course of last over thirty years has acquired over
1,60,000 volumes of Books and Journals. Hayward British
Parliamentary Debates, Goods sets of Pictorial Books, Philosophical
Transactions of the Royal Society of London, volumes of the Journals
of the Royal Asiatic Society of Bengal, the Asiatic Researcher, The
Puneh are some notable collections in the Raj library.
