Our library offers designated spaces for laptop use, group work, and silent study areas for independent learning with PC’s and internet facilities. Along with a plethora of books, Thames also does engaging events like book talks and a Thames original, three-book challenge.
The college library is open for users 9 hours a day, 7am -5pm, from Sunday to Friday.

Events :
- Three-book Challenge
Three-book challenge, a Thames original where students after completing each book, will have to write a short summary of the book and get it stamped by the librarian when the book is returned, within the deadline. The student who completes the challenge is rewarded with their choice of book. The only criteria is that books must be of more than 60 pages.

To establish a reading culture at Thames, we invite reputed authors to give a first-hand insight on the books written by them. Watch the Books Talks that happened in our library on Our YouTube Channel!
