The article shows that careful financial and time planning enables the organization of a private college library although private colleges have no money before they start functioning. The goal of the article is to point out that it is necessary to begin with the organization of the future library quite some time before the college starts with the educational activities. The author describes the meaning of the college library and basic legal regulations concerning college libraries, evaluates the initial costs and time planning of the organization and gives some suggestions for the most economical organization of the library activities that will support the work of students and professors when the college begins to perform the study programme. The research methods used in this contribution are critical analysis of the relevant literature, case study of the library organization in a small private college, and analysis of the main costs that arise when founding the library. The research comes to the conclusion that small private colleges urgently need libraries as well. First, it is necessary to provide adequate premises and equipment, acquire library materials and especially hire professional librarians who are able to acquire and process library materials and in this way ensure basic conditions for the future information centre of the college.
