The College Library began operating in 1943 at Kamrup Academy School. It moved to a new building in 1958 and was relocated to its current building in 2000. That same year, the library was renamed "Hem Barua Library" in honor of Hem Barua, the college's third principal and a prominent parliamentarian and educationist. The library provides a wide range of books and resources to support the various academic programs.

The college grew under the shadow of World War II and as a part of the nationalistic struggle against foreign rule. The college was initially established as a night college to provide opportunities for poor students who worked during the day to pursue higher education. It has been linked with many notable figures, including Bharat Ratna Gopinath Bordoloi, Assam's first Chief Minister, who was also the founder and first honorary principal. Bordoloi, along with other nationalist leaders and educators from Assam, decided to create the college in Guwahati after British authorities barred students from Cotton College who had participated in the freedom movement. This group of nationalist leaders formed the college's first Governing Body in 1942. However, classes could not commence immediately due to the wartime conditions and the Quit India Movement. The college officially began its evening classes in September 1943, starting with 15 students.
