The Academy maintains a library which is gradually growing with the acquisition of new books apart from preservation of rare books and manuscripts. The library is being used by students and research scholars not only in Chennai but also from neighboring states and abroad. Membership is open to all, with payment of annual or on daily usage fees.

In 2001, a collection of over 1000 rare books and manuscripts on Music, Sanskrit, Dance and Harikatha was received for the library from the family of Harikatha Exponent Sangita Kalanidhi Embar Sri S. Vijayaraghavachariar.

The modernization of the library was carried out through a donation made in 1991 by late S. Viswanathan, a former Vice-President.

The archives section of the library has tapes donated by the families of Sri S. Natarajan, Sri G. Narasimhan, Sri P. Obul Reddy and by Smt. Padma Narasimhan .
