We love our libraries! Everything about them - the books, the atmosphere, the people, the organization, the great resources - all the components of a vibrant school library.
Our school libraries are hubs that encourage students to read, research, explore, connect, and create. At our school, we have worked hard to get rid of that outdated idea that “libraries are only for books.” Amazing libraries and librarians are making a difference and changing attitudes, proving that libraries are places for exploration.
The library can be a great place to try out new ideas. We're really lucky to have an administration that allows us to test out new ideas and technology. To create the new media-centered library, we added exciting features like a charging station and a seating area with comfortable chairs for students to work. We created video recording studios, with rows of workstations with editing software, and a TV to showcase student work or broadcast trainings or lessons. The new technology lets teachers, who are moving increasingly toward cloud-based and paperless learning , assign work that students can access in the library.
The objectives of our school libraries are:
• To support all educational programs of the school.
• To cultivate reading habits in school students.
• To develop their interest to use the library for their overall development.
• To inculcate the habit of seeking help of additional sources other than textbooks.
• To develop self-learning skills of students.
• To help teacher to improve their teaching expertise.
• To provide healthy material for recreational and entertainment purpose of students, teachers and staff members.
