7.1 Book of the month:-

     

      A book is choosen for a month and is delivered in every Tuesday of Morning Assembly for that month. As a result, students along with teachers, get a chance to know in detail the thought contents of the book and its utility, which ultimately inspires them to issue that particular book.

III. LIBRARY MANNERS:

     

      Please keep silence in the library. This will not only help you in your studies but will also keep a congenial atmosphere in the library.

 

      Pulling a book from the self by its pack will damage its binding. If the self is packed, PUSH BACK WITH YOUR FINGERS THE TWO BOOKS ADJACENT TO THE ONE YOU NEED. It will then be easy for you to pick up the book you want without damaging its binding.

     

 

 

      In case you have to leave your table, while reading a book, please do not leave the book open on the table; do not put the book with its face down; nor should you insert your notebook or pencil in between the pages and close the book ask for a bookmark.

     

      Marking the book with the pencils or pens spoils its appearance.

     

      Do not fold the pages.

     

If you find any defect in the book you have taken out for reading or borrowing please; bring it to the notice of the librarian to avoid further inconvenience to yourself.

      Please protect books taken on loan from dust, fire, oil, and water and also from the covetous eyes and stealthy hands.

Do not forget that this is your library and that you are a part of this seat of learning.
