Abstract :
Though there were some royal collections of books in early and medieval age in India, there was no library in modern sense before coming of Europeans in India. Bankura is not an exceptional. Though there are findings of many manuscripts from some houses of the villages along with the royal collection of books of Malla royal family in Bankura district, libraries in modern sense were started to build in 19th century in Bankura district. In that time there were some forces behind building libraries in Bankura district like Christian missionaries, progressive zamindars and upper middle class society, revolutionaries and others. Though their interests were different, their efforts took the people of Bankura in contact of books, the source of knowledge. The article covers mainly evolution and growth of libraries in Bankura district in colonial period with emphasizing the primitive condition of libraries in Bankura district before colonial period by patronage of the Malla kings of Bishnupur in the beginning of the article.
