How we will utilise these books

The school library would hardly need a definition for someone reading this. The chances are that you would in your professional capacity, have contributed to the setting up and operations of libraries in schools. To build common vocabulary/understanding, in our specific area of interest – School libraries, and to be more specific, libraries for elementary schools - we define libraries as inclusive learning spaces, resourced with a variety of books and in some cases with other audio visual/digital material of interest to children. The child is at the centre and the purpose of the library. All its programmes and processes are designed to support improved child learning and development. There are many who believe that the process of education is considered incomplete without libraries and that they are inseparable with education and the development of a child. Library books will be given to first phase demonstration school. In this we are targeting to provide 500+ library books in each school. a. Identifying physical spaces and creating a conducive learning environment b. Encouraging teachers and students to become involved c. Arranging books for library. d. Set-up alignments with lesson plans and time table
