Essay: Our College Library
Our college Library is not a big one. It has rather a small collection of books but it meets the requirements of the students. The books have been carefully and wisely selected to create love tor literature and learning in the students. Thus, in spite of the limited number of books, it is of great help to the students.
Our library, along with the reading room, is housed in a separate block of the college. The bookcases with glass-fronts are placed all along the walls, Books on different subjects are systematically arranged in separate bookcases. When you enter the library you will find on your right bookcases containing books of fiction. A little further there are books on travel and adventure. In one corner of the room there is the catalogue cabinet. In a room attached to the library sits the librarian One half of the building serves as a reading room for the students. There, the students, when they feel like reading something, sit on chairs placed round a long table full of newspapers, magazines and illustrated periodicals.
Our teachers help the students in selecting good books. Their mature taste does certainly guide the students to select really good books. This is important, if one feeds on sensational stuff. But perhaps I do not possess enough knowledge to discuss such things.
What I know for certain is that I have spent many happy hours in the library and its memory will ever remain with me what have I gained here, I cannot answer adequately. But one thing I have surely learned is that the pleasures of reading are valuable.
