OUR SCHOOL LIBRARY

A school library is a part and parcel of a school. Here a reader comes to read and
learn. Ours is a reputed school. We have a rich library in our school. It is set up in
the first floor of our school building. It has a rich collection of books which are
very helpful as well as rare. There are different types of books, magazines,
periodicals and reference books in our school library. There are also novels, poetry,
science fictions and biographies etc. The English and Bangla daily newspapers are
available in our school library. The library is well furnished. Books are
systematically arranged in the shelves. There is a spacious reading room divided
into two parts- one for the students and the other for the teachers. An adequate
number of chairs and tables are provided for the readers in the library. As a result,
it has become convenient for a reader to read with silence and deep attention.
There is also a silent atmosphere in the reading space all the time. Our school
library is run by a skilled as well as friendly librarian who assists us in taking
books from the library. Students can take books from the library by submitting
their respective library cards. But there is no option of buying books from the
library. A school library is the stone house of knowledge. In this sense, due to
having a huge collection of books, our school library helps us to quench our thirst
for knowledge. So we are proud of our school library.
