The library is a quintessential part of an educational institution; in fact, it is its very soul. It is the place where students can sit and learn in a tranquil environment, at their own pace. The onus of gathering, categorizing, maintaining, updating, and disseminating information through various books and digital resources, is of course, on the institution. At TSB, there is a vast repertoire of books, periodicals, online journals, databases, HBS cases, back volumes, CDs/DVDs, project reports, and audio / video cassettes, aimed at assisting students in research and acquiring knowledge. The institute prides itself on the high quality of service provided to the TSB community and has been modernized through computerization; every element of housekeeping has also been updated, and this is connected to the network across the campus.

About 100 national and international journals and magazines are on the annual subscription list, and numerous copies of popular and prescribed texts for PGDM programs are also available.
