Library
A well-resourced library enables the students to enrich and expand their horizons. The Scholars’ School library known as the Knowledge Resource Center provides academic resources for all constituents of the school-the scholars, faculty and administrative staff. Our school library has a vast and diverse collection of books for children at all levels. The library strives to make resources readily accessible when and wherever they are needed to enhance and promote the total growth and development of the students. The library endeavours to provide students with opportunities to learn how to utilize materials in a variety of formats to access information so that they can continue lifelong learning’s. The library collections stand out around documents consisting of books and multimedia on variety of subjects. Library provides reprographic services along with scanning and color printouts to its patrons.
Main functions of the School library are to provide resources and research support for students and faculty of the educational institution. Specific course-related resources are usually provided by the library, such as copies of textbooks and article readings held on ‘reserve’ (meaning that they are loaned out only on a short-term basis).
The school library offers a number of specialized services and maintains a schedule of hours that is best suited and utilized by its members.
The School Library aims to do the following:
- Support the educational aims of the school by making the library central and integral to the independent learning processes within the school.
- Provide services which will enable the scholars to become more responsible for their own learning and prepare for university by helping them develop their research and study skills.
- Enrich the scholars’ curricular experiences by providing appropriate resources. Knowledge of the curriculum enables staff to purchase relevant resources and provide an environment that is conducive and will encourage divergent and reflective study.
- Provide an environment which encourages relaxation and private reading.
- Give the scholars a sense of ‘ownership’ of their Library. Suggestions by boys for resources are always welcomed. The Library Council meets regularly, with representation from the scholars and the staff.
- Arrange workshops and talks by writers and illustrators which will inspire, enthuse and entertain the scholars’.
