Library

The library is one of the most important places of a school. Every good school must have a well-stocked library, which can be used by students and teachers alike. The library of a school acts as a storehouse of knowledge.

My school has one of the best libraries in town. It consists of two large rooms on one side of the school building. It has large windows and is thus airy and well lit. There are long, gleaming tables with chairs on all sides. Chairs have also been placed near the windows for comfortable reading.

In one room the books of general interest have been stocked, while the other contains newspapers, journals and reference and other text books. Our library contains nearly 10,000 books on every subject - literature, history, Science, Mathematics etc. Are some of them. There are also novels, classics and encyclopaedias etc. Our school subscribes, journals and magazines from all over the world.

Every class has one library period in a week. We can issue any book we like, except for the reference books. Fines are imposed for spoiling the book or for returning it late. During exams we can sit for longer periodn in the library. The librarian is a well trained kind lady.

Books can really prove to be the best friends of man. They can increase his knowledge as well as provide pleasurable reading. But we must take care to read good books only, and must never write on them or tear their pages. The library then will become our favourite place in the school.
