KCC Library lies at the heart of Kolkata Centre for Creativity with a rich and varied collection of books that constitutes one of the most comprehensive views of modern and contemporary art in India and the world. From a humble beginning in 2018 as a gallery library, its ever-increasing collection now has a wide variety of significant books on the history of art and art theory, aesthetics, visual arts, architecture, design, photography, performing arts, theatre, film, food, and crafts as well as literature – both fiction and non-fiction. The library also has an extensive collection of vernacular art books in Bengali, international art magazines, and auction catalogues, providing students and scholars with the space and resources to study and research. KCC Library maintains a year-round program of diverse activities under the banner of Fridays @ KCC Library – author’s and artist's talks, conversations, book launches, film-screenings, and performances – twice a month on Fridays. The aim is to redefine the library as an active physical site of learning and knowledge exchange in the digital age when most readers are accustomed to online resources.
