Vinod Kumar encouraged employees to donate at least one good book to the library, which comprises four shelves installed in the New Video Conference Hall. The Collector himself contributed five books on topics such as the Indian Constitution, service rules, administration, personality development, and general knowledge. Vinod Kumar emphasized the importance of updating one's knowledge while fulfilling official duties, suggesting the library's collection cater to these needs. The Collector directed In-charge District Revenue Officer Lavanna to appoint a staff member to manage the library and maintain the books properly. The library's terms and conditions require comments to be in English, written in full sentences, and adhering to community guidelines.",
