School libraries are places for learning and thinking. They play a key role in supporting and developing literacy and the enjoyment of reading. As Joy Cowley writes, ‘A sanctuary, a mine of treasure, a house of maps to secret lives in secret worlds … – the library became my other home.’ School libraries are unique but they’re also part of a much wider information landscape.

Students read different stories, colourful fairy tales, poems, and novels in our library. It is a peaceful place where we have to maintain silence and decorum. School library allows students to issue books, which helps us develop a reading interest.

They learn so many new words by reading and also understand their meanings. Reading has improved their language and thinking power.
