Library
The library of Christian Medical College was established in 1956. In 1974 it was housed in two buildings, clinical and pre-clinical. The pre-clinical section was shifted to the basement of a private block in the hospital. All medical journals and old collection of the books were kept in college library and 1970 onwards in the hospital library. From January 1990 both the sections have been shifted to a new library in the basic health sciences block.
There are departmental libraries, in addition to the Medical Library, containing valuable supplementary material.
For the leisure hours of the staff, dependents and students, a recreation library is in the basement of the library building. It holds books on fiction, general topics and children's books.
Christian Medical College library consists of books and journals of the basic and clinical science, related subject of medical and dental practice, and nursing. CMC library subscribes to national and international journals. Library services are available for 14 hours.

Famous quotes containing the word library:
“The fear of failure is so great, it is no wonder that the desire to do right by one’s children has led to a whole library of books offering advice on how to raise them.”

“With sighs more lunar than bronchial,
Howbeit eluding fallopian diagnosis,
She simpers into the tribal library and reads
That Keats died of tuberculosis . . .”
—Allen Tate (1899–1979)
“... the subjective viewpoint is the only one to use regarding a library. Your true library is a collection of the books you want. You may have deplorably poor taste or bad judgment. Never mind. Correct those traits before you exchange your books.”
—Carolyn Wells (1862–1942)
