A library is a place where books are stocked on all subjects. It is a collection of books of all types. It is a treasure-house where the master minds of the entire world meet less than one roof. Here barriers of countries, climates are shaken. Here books lie piled up in beautiful almirahs. They are housed subject-wise. Books on all possible subjects can be had, read and enjoyed. There are journals, magazines-all beautifully embellished on wooden stands. The reader can read them while standing. A school library is generally housed in two-rooms. One room is meant for books of all kinds whether it is the subject of History or Economics or Political Science-all books are arranged under the head of ‘Social Sciences’. The text books by leading authors, both Indians as well as foreign especially in the subjects of Natural Sciences are nicely kept. There are novels, story books, books on plays of all International repute in the school library of Jain Samnopasak. These books are meant for relaxation, pleasure and casual reading. There are still other books for serious study which do increase your knowledge. They sharpen your intelligence. You become worldly wise and experienced. The other room is entirely meant for magazines, journals and daily papers. The school liberally contributes to all well-known magazines. Reader Digest is the favorite of one and all. This room, to which we call ‘Reading Room’, is the best place in the school. A large number of story books such as Arabian Nights, collection of Munshi Prem Chand’s stories, books of O Henry’s fables-all are there in the reading room. Chairs, desks, long tables are generally present in a library for the readers to sit and read books. Many ceiling fans and electric tubes and bulbs are there for the convenience of the readers. ‘Keep Silence’ and Don’t Talk’ signboards are hung everywhere. Both students and teachers enjoy their reading in a school library. A school library is a storehouse of knowledge and wisdom. The great novelists, authors, writers, poets and critics lie side by side. They enrich our experience, when we read them seriously and deeply. Books are our never-failing friends. They stand by us. They console and comfort us in our distress. Book-reading is a very good hobby. A library can best satisfy it.
