A collaborative effort of Bhubaneswar Smart City Limited (BSCL) and Bhubaneswar Municipal Corporation (BMC), the library has books on Odia and English literature, various competitive and entrance examinations, health, well-being, fitness, history, contemporary Indian literature, religion, poetry and other subjects.
Twenty newspapers and 15 periodicals/magazines are also available for readers.
