Southwest Normal University Library was founded in 1950, which was formed by the merger of the former National Women's Teachers College Library and Sichuan Education College Library. When the library was first built, there were only 40,000 books and periodicals. Together with the adjustment of departments and teaching reform of 1952 and the integration of some majors of Sichuan University, East Sichuan Institute of Education, Chongqing University and West China University, 20,000 books were transferred, with a total collection of more than 70,000 books. The building is converted from a temple, with a total area of less than 400 square meters and less than 10 staff.
1953 The school allocated special funds for books, and successively purchased classic works of Marxism-Leninism, Chairman Mao's works, political and current affairs books and reference books needed for teaching and scientific research, and invited teachers from Chinese Department and History Department to buy books in Beijing and other places. Based on the principle of "making the past serve the present" and "making foreign things serve China", I loaded ancient books, literature and history monographs and reference books online, which laid a good foundation for my collection. At the same time, according to the needs of teaching and scientific research, after careful selection and preservation, some books and periodicals on pedagogy, psychology, foreign history, foreign languages and literature and science and technology have been collected one after another. By 1956, the library has increased to 254826 volumes.
1956 after the national conference on university library work was held, the school immediately determined the leadership system of the library, and the vice president in charge of teaching and scientific research was in charge of the library work. After the school moved from Shapingba to Beibei, 1965 built a special building of 5,700 square meters. 1966, the collection of various books and periodicals has reached 675 102 volumes, with more than 50 staff members.
During the Cultural Revolution, the school moved to Liangping, the library work came to a standstill, and the subscription of books and periodicals was interrupted. Some books and periodicals in the collection are piled up in sacks, and most of them are still in the original stacks. After 1980, a total of Chinese and foreign books and periodicals 164477 were lost, with a value of 177635 yuan, including many valuable books and periodicals and professional reference books.

Yifu Building covers an area of two hectares, with a building area of 9,792 square meters and a collection of 800,000 books. It was the building with the latest equipment, the largest investment and the highest specification at that time.
In September 2000, the multimedia reading room was established, and the whole library realized the network connection and computer access operation of the library. It can provide readers with services such as searching, surfing the Internet, teaching and training. In the same year, in June+February, 5438, the school's book verification work was fully completed, and 920,000 Chinese and foreign books were approved in the library.

The library has been changed from nine departments to five departments. Namely: office, editorial department, distribution department, reading department, periodical department and electronic reading department. There are 87 people working.
In August of 20001year, the retrospective database of commonly used Chinese books was completed, and the first phase of the digital library project was completed.

Former Southwest Agricultural University Library
Southwest Agricultural University Library was established in June of 1950 and June of 10. It is jointly established by the Department of Agriculture, the Department of Horticulture, the Department of Agricultural Products Manufacturing, the private West China Union Medical College and the private Hunan Huinong College. During the preparation and merger period, each school allocated 3520 books, 7 staff members set up the library of Southwest Agricultural College, and Hong Qikun served as the librarian. The address is in Xiaba, Beibei, the former site of Chongqing Xianghui Academy, which was the former site of Fudan University Library when Fudan University was in Sichuan during the Anti-Japanese War. From 1952 to 1953, the agricultural colleges of Sichuan University, Yunnan University, Guizhou University and universities in the province were adjusted successively, and the agricultural books and equipment of more than ten universities in southwest China were concentrated, which made the library have a certain collection foundation.
1954 The school established a new campus in Tianshengqiao, Beibei, using the former central agricultural experimental field base. In August of the same year, the library moved with the school to a new site-Shiyuan Village, with an area of 550 square meters.

There is a reading room on the fourth floor of the front building, and all kinds of reading rooms are complete. The fifth floor of the back building is a library, equipped with vertical lifting equipment, which greatly reduces the workload of workers carrying books upstairs and downstairs. By 1967, the library has 234,288 books, and the annual purchase fund is nearly 30,000 yuan.
1988 The 8226-square-meter new library put into use stands in the center of the campus, which fundamentally changes the document storage and service conditions of the library. The new library takes stacks as the main body, connecting the reader area and the work area. There is a garden in the library with a deep and quiet sense of elegance. Readers are divided into teachers and students and do not interfere with each other. The house is adaptable, there is no floor difference between the stacks and the reading room, and the load is the same, which is conducive to gradually expanding the shelf opening until it is completely open for borrowing and supermarket management. There are specialized research rooms, modern technology rooms and academic lecture halls. In 20001year, Southwest Agricultural University merged with Sichuan Rongchang Animal Husbandry and Veterinary School and Citrus Research Institute of China Academy of Agricultural Sciences to form a new Southwest Agricultural University, with Rongchang Campus Library as the second library of Southwest Agricultural University.
