Unlocking Knowledge : The Crucial Role of School Library

A school library is often called the heart of a school. Even in the digital age, there is no substitute for books. Today, when information is readily available at the click of a button, the importance of our well-stocked and well-utilised library cannot be overstated. The library in Asha Modern School, one of the best CBSE schools in Saharanpur, serves as a knowledge hub, enriching students’ minds with diverse resources and fostering a lifelong love for learning. Our library remains as crucial as ever, in shaping the young minds of today into the leaders and thinkers of tomorrow.

The importance of school library extends far beyond being a room for books. The books stored on the shelves of library are the source of wisdom and knowledge. Library is a place where every corner of the globe can be discovered. It is a nurturing ground for curious minds, fostering a love for literature, and serving as launchpad for academic excellence. It’s a place where students gain access to books and a universe of knowledge, ideas and imagination. Only with reading widely do children grow into thoughtful, open minded adults.

Our library has books on science, nature, art machines. Books about any topic that consumes the curiosity of students, including a wide range of storybooks to inspire their imagination. Students get to read about people like themselves and books about other people who are different from them. The library at Asha Modern School complements the curriculum, ensuring students have easy access to the information they need to excel in their studies. It provides students with textbooks and reference materials, making it an invaluable asset for academic pursuits.

Our institution has mandated a library period every week for students from grade one onwards, when they spend a relaxed time reading books in the library and get books issued for home, to help them develop life-long skills they can apply to any situation. For example, they can continuously challenge their reading skills and take the time to learn new words in dictionary. A book journal is also maintained by each student wherein they keep a track of their reading. Our school library is an integral part of schooling as it provides a space for students to explore and gain information, essential for rounded education and growth. 

By recognising the importance of school library and investing in its development, our school creates a nurturing and enriching environment that empowers students and equips them with the skills they need to succeed in the 21st century.
