School Library

A library is a place provided to students for reading for educative as well as leisurely purposes. Books of all kinds are kept here systematically [ধারাক্রমে]. And as for a school library, it is a must. It reflects [প্রতিফলিত করা] upon the seriousness [গুরুত্ব] and dedication [সমর্পণ] of the school towards the goal of education.

My school library is very well maintained. It is huge, well lit and airy. One can sit and read easily even when the lights go off. The library too is situated in a separate [পৃথক] block as to ensure [নিশ্চিন্ত করা] quiet and peaceful environs [পরিপার্শ্ব]. On the walls are posters and charts depicting [চিত্রিত করা] the importance and essence [সারভাগ] of the reading. The catalogue [তালিকা] of books arranged alphabetically [বর্ণানুক্রম] is kept on the side. On the left is the place to keep our things and the counter for the attendant who checks our registers as we walk in and out.

Next, we have the library counter where we get issued and returned back our books. We have writing tables and chairs in the centre and all around are huge cupboards holding books of every kind. There are various sections divided as per the subjects. We have the English, History, Geography, Civics, Commerce, Science sections. A few other sections of interest are the fine arts section, Encyclopaedia section, other Creative Arts section and the fiction section.

It is a good opportunity [সুযোগ] for us to read nice books which otherwise [অন্যথায়] one cannot buy. To encourage [অনুপ্রাণিত করা] a reading habit among students we have a separate library period assigned [নির্ধারিত] for every class once a week. During this period the entire class goes to the library and has to issue books and read them. We are also taught to cover the library books and keep them nicely.

Library is a great place for all of us to read more on subjects that are of our interest and things which cannot be covered in the classroom due to limitations of time and syllabus. It really enhances [বাড়ানো] our knowledge. The encyclopaedia section is especially very helpful if one wants to know about new.

I really enjoy visiting the library though I do not get an opportunity as often as I would like to have. But whenever any teacher is absent I seek permission to rush to the library. I am really proud of the excellent library in my school.
