MY SCHOOL LIBRARY

WHAT IS A LIBRARY?

A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.

A Library is a place where we can read many different books for free. We borrow a book for about a

week and then return it. If the pages of the book are torn after you give it back, you have to pay for it

no matter who tore it. In a library, we also get to read other writings such as Newspapers, Articles, etc.

My School Library.

My school’s ( Bal Bharati Public School) library is vast. It has many different varieties of books such as

horror, comedy, mystery, etc. We can find the books by the name of the author. The initials are

written on the shelves.

Every Friday, whenever we have our library class, we sit in our assigned seats and read the books

given to us by the sir or ma’am. In the last few minutes, the teacher allows the students who have

given their past assigned books and have their Identity Card to walk around the library and choose a

book of their choice.

After choosing, the students keep their Identity Cards inside the book and keep it on the counter. They

get the book for a week until the next Friday and our next library class. In the next class, the students

bring the books that were assigned to them and keep them on the counter. Then they repeat the process

listed above.

Our Library Environment.

The environment of our library is silent and peaceful. It has the ambience to make readers

comfortable while reading such as Air Conditioners, Comfortable chairs, etc.

Message.

We should all go to the library to gain knowledge, inculcate reading habits and discipline of sitting in

silence. The library is my favorite place.

Education – a necessary tool for national progress and social change: President

The President has said there should not be any confrontation between the environment considerations and development requirements.

Inaugurating the National Day Education celebration and Jawaharlal Nehru National Science, Mathematics and Environment Exhibition (JNNSMEE) 2013, at Gangtok, Sikkim, the President, Pranab Mukherjee said that it is high time that we redefine the concept of development in a wider prospective and try to find innovative ways on scientific knowledge and mathematical understanding to tackle them.

Paying rich tribute to the first Education Minister of the country, Maulana Abul Kalam Azad, the President described him as a great visionary, freedom fighter, scholar and eminent educationist. He said it was Maulana Azad who had woven the fabric of a secular, liberal, modern and universal education system. Calling for promotion of innovation, he said it will be the determining factor of growth in the future. In a world marked by resource constraints growth will increasingly depend on technology upgradation.

It is the innovation in Science and Technology which can lead to development of new products and processes which could act as a catalyst for growth. Describing education as a necessary tool for national progress, human empowerment and social change the President said the changes made in the education system including Right to education, implementation of Sarva Shiksha Abiyaan, Rashtriya Madhyamik Shiksha Abiyaan (RMSA) to strengthen the seconadry school system in the country and now launching of the Rashtriya Uttachar Shiksha Abiyaan (RUSA) will have far reaching positive implications.

Speaking on the occasion, MoS HRD Dr. Shashi Tharoor also paid tribute to Maulana Azad. He said that the modern secular education in the post independent India is a product of his initiative and vision.

The Sikkim Chief Minister Pawan Chamling said that the state has made a rapid stride in the field of education. The literacy rate in the state has jumped from 56 per cent in 1984 to 82 per cent till last year. Efforts are being made by the state government to up lift the standard in higher education and it also proposes to provide best possible facilities in the higher education sector.

The National Education Day is celebrated on the birth anniversary of Maulana Azad.
