The library called Knowledge was shifted to a specious hall in the first floor at Sri Aurobindo Ashram - Delhi branch (now in Tapasya). I borrowed the following books during 1992-93 and kept copious diary notes. Many new books were not available there; so I used to browse through them at Sabda as most were hard on my pocket.
1. Sri Aurobindo in Baroda
2. Social philosophy of Sri Aurobindo and the new age
3. The flame of truth
4. Sri Aurobindo - a garland of tributes
5. Sri Aurobindo - addresses on his life and teachings
6. Sri Aurobindo and Bergson
7. Sri Aurobindo and Whitehead on the nature of god
8. The yogi and the mystic
9. Eternity is born
10. The meeting of the east and the west in Sri Aurobindo's philosophy
11. The radical thinkers - Sri Aurobindo and Heidegger
12. Value and value theories
13. Integral psychology
14. Vedic epiphany
15. The search for beauty
16. Psychology for future education
17. The philosophy of Sri Aurobindo
18. The revolt of the earth
19. Evolution - II
20. Sri Aurobindo's political approach to integral thought
21. Sri Aurobindo's concept of superman
22. The philosophy of integralism
23. The evolution of integral consciousness
24. Teilhard de Chardin and Sri Aurobindo
25. The dialogue with death
26. The vision and work of Sri Aurobindo
27. Talks on poetry
28. The Mother - past present future
29. Aesthetic vision of Sri Aurobindo
30. Dante and Sri Aurobindo
31. Sri Aurobindo - seer and poet
32. The splendour of Sri Aurobindo's muse
33. A new education for a new consciousness
34. The hierarchy of minds
35. Talks with Sri Aurobindo
36. Evening talks
37. Prophet of Indian nationalism
38. Siddhanjana
These secondary literature opened new vistas and enriched my understanding of The Mother & Sri Aurobindo. The list doesn't include the books I was able to buy and read at leisure without worrying about refund. Thus, my intellectual debt to Sri Aurobindo Ashram - Delhi branch is enormous. Listening to lectures on special occasions and seminars too was educative.
A few important books were not there which could have enhanced my knowledge with ready-made data for which I struggled in subsequent years.
The Social and Political Vision of Sri Aurobindo by K. D. Verma
Sri Aurobindo and the Theories of Evolution: A Critical and ... by Rama Shanker Srivastava
Evolution towards Human Unity (Sri Aurobindo's Philosophy of History and of Political Evolution, A Comparative Study), 2002 by K.N. Verma

Lastly, the book from which I have benefited most is D.P. Chattopadhyaya's Sri Aurobindo and Karl Marx.
