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.
