                 History of Library        

              Arts and Commerce College, Ashta was established by Hon. Rajrambapu Patil Under its mother institute i.e. Kasegaon Education Society, Kasegaon in 1965. The College had founded the Central Library in the same year. Shri. Jaysing Govindrao Patil was the 1st Librarian of the college. More than 5,000 books were made available in the beginning but today the number books has exceeded to more than 50,000 books in various subjects. Traditional-Manual method was  used in the library.  But with the changing period, the college has purchased a library software i.e. ” Vidyasagar Library Management Software” Kolhapur in 2010.  This software is very beneficial and made the library fully automated. It is User-friendly software.

            Our Library Acknowledges and adopts advance methods and technologies for the growth of the library.  It provides both the print and non-print material i.e. books/ e-books, journals/e-journals, Newspapers/e-newspapers,e-resources, Mobile Apps, WEB-OPAC, etc. to the college students and all the faculty members.    Libraries are constantly modifying according to the demand of the modern era. Now the library is working on QR code technology.
