One great philosopher has rightly said “Knowledge is the key to success”. Nothing can be better than books as a source of knowledge. It has been an established fact that any kind of education is empty in itself without the availability of books. To fulfill such a need in education structure what better than the library with a vast collection of the books and other related literature can serve the purpose.
Library has a sufficient collection of books covering the entire spectrum of course. Enriching the library is an on going process which requires financial assistance that is provided by state government annually. Books and other printed material can be obtained from library under different schemes for a definite period.
Role of Libraries in Government Schools:

- Creating a Positive Learning Environment: Libraries can serve as a hub for learning and social interaction, providing a space for students to collaborate, explore ideas, and engage with different perspectives.
