Location and atmosphere of library is perfect. But facilities can be improve. Chairs are very old. Modified table with covered charging facilities with comfortable chairs should be provided. Extension of RD section is needed.

Maulana azad library is the Asia's biggest Library so you can think about its and there are so many facilities available there if you are amu student then you have your library card and you can easily take a book but you have to return the book on time because there rules are very strict so you have to follow them and any damage to book will lead some amount of charge to you. So this is your responsibility to take care of the book. You can also sit inside the different rooms of Libray also there is water-cooler and washrooms facilities provided and outside the library there is a canteen and a grear museum.
