SCHOOL LIBRARY
A sumptuous and well stocked library is the hall mark of quality education. A library is not only a reservoir of knowledge but also represents the summits of intellectual excellence that human minds can attain through diligences, dedication and perseverance.
Bal Bharati Public School, Dwarka boasts of individual libraries for the junior and senior classes. The total number of books for both the libraries comes down to 26,000 with the figure increasing with each passing day. The libraries have various sections ranging from textbooks and reference books to fiction, self-help, physical education and general knowledge. Since the school aims at making learning a fun process, there is an assortment of books and playful reading activities conducted at regular intervals for our young scholars.
We have Book Club which caters to the burgeoning curiosity and enthusiasm of avid readers by promoting a love of literature in a positive and nurturing environment.
Reference Books and Magazines keep the students abreast with all that’s happening around. Students are also encouraged to give their suggestion about the kind of books they would like to see in the library,
Apart from books, library also hosts 26 periodicals. Having the intellectual acumen of our learners our library is well equipped with 19 latest laptops, 50 tabs and 27 kindles with Internet access.
LIBRARY INITIATIVES- PARENT-ALUMNI AND SCHOOL COLLABORATION THROUGH BOOKS
- Parents and alumni are invited to Utilize School Library Resources on working Saturdays, which will strengthen the school home connection and will nurture a shared learning experience between the parent and child.
- This association will also help to keep graduates connected to their school, allowing them to stay informed about the institution's developments.
School Library has introduced several noble initiatives to augment the reading habits of students:
- Mobile Library Program: Library Club students visited slum areas and conducted story telling sessions for underprivileged children.
- Books for All Campaign: Library Club students have set up a “Books For All” counter for students to deposit their old books. The same may be used by other students.
