SCHOOL LIBRARY
LIBRARY AS LEARNING RESOURCE CENTRE
The word ‘library’ is rich in tradition, meaning, and usage. The definitions of ‘school library’ given
by various library scientists and associations reflect this heritage. Throughout the world the Library
of a school is considered as part and parcel of the academic set-up. It is created and maintained to
serve and support the educational activities of the school. The recommendations of numerous
commissions and committees established by the Government of India and various other states for
the improvement of school education can bring in desired results provided the school has the full
complement of library resources, personnel, and necessary infrastructure. So far the school library
has not been given its rightful place in the scheme of things. Nevertheless, it can play a very important
role and help the school in achieving the educational objectives. If we recognize the value and
importance of informal system of education, then library method of self-education is sure to get its
due place.
The school Library provides information, inculcates ideas, and develops knowledge that is so
essential to functioning successfully in today’s information and knowledge based society. It is
fundamental to school library to equip students with life long learning skills and develop in them
creative thinking and imagination, and enabling them to live as ideal and responsible citizens.
