Library

The school has a spacious well stocked, computerized library with more than 6000 books, a huge collection of latest magazines and many national and international journals and periodicals. The students are encouraged to develop the habit of extensive reading and carry out exhaustive studies through reference books appropriately suited to the requirements of all categories of student. The purpose of your school library is to help every member of your school community — students, staff, families — gain new knowledge, skills and dispositions for learning and personal development that they will use throughout their lives.A school library (or a school library media center) is a library within a school where students, staff, and often, parents of a public or private school have access to a variety of resources. The goal of the school library media center is to ensure that all members of the school community have equitable access "to books and reading, to information, and to information technology." A school library media center "uses all types of media... is automated, and utilizes the Internet [as well as books] for information gathering." School libraries are distinct from public libraries because they serve as "learner-oriented laboratories which support, extend, and individualize the school's curriculum... A school library serves as the center and coordinating agency for all material used in the school."

The school library exists to provide a range of learning opportunities for both large and small groups as well as individuals with a focus on intellectual content, information literacy, and the learner.[15] In addition to classroom visits with collaborating teachers, the school library also serves as a learning space for students to do independent work, use computers, equipment and research materials; to host special events such as author visits and book clubs; and for tutoring and testing.
