About Library
Kendriya Vidyalaya BSF Jalalabad (W) Library remains open during school hours for all students and staff of the Vidyalaya. The basic aim of the Library is to include the reading habit among the students.
School is a gateway to knowledge and plays an important role in building up a love for reading. The school library is integral to this educational process. Encouraged at the right age, the children are sure to develop a love for books. “Catch ’em Young” is, therefore, the motto of the school libraries.
According to IFLA/UNESCO School Library Manifesto, “the school library provides information and ideas that are fundamental to functioning successfully in today’s
information and knowledge-based society.
The school library equips students with life-long learning skills and develops the imagination enabling them to live as responsible citizens”. It plays this role by selecting, acquiring, and providing access to appropriate sources of information. The school library offers books and other resources ranging from print to electronic media for the completion of various school projects and assignments, for the acquisition of knowledge about a topic taught in class, for finding information about a hobby or current events and news, etc.
