Essay on My School Library for Students and Children

A library is usually a room or a building where various collections of books on different subjects are kept ready for the readers. Nowadays, it is a part and parcel of every educational institution.

Like many other schools, we have a big library in our school. It is situated on the second floor of the school building. It is a spacious room with a number of almirahs containing books on literature, history, geography, science, religion, etc. At present, it has as many as ten thousand books on various subjects. Every year, the library is enriched with new books on the latest subjects and topics. Really, we are fortunate that our school has a rich library. 

There is a well-furnished reading room attached to it. Students come here to pass their leisure hours by reading books of their choice. There is a trained and qualified librarian who is in charge of the library. He is a very good man. He helps the students select good books in every possible way. He keeps the books in the library in a systematic order. Our teachers can also collect different reference books from the library for their better understanding of a subject. It is our school library that can meet the needs of the students. Poor students who can't afford to buy their books can receive or borrow them from the library. 

A library is called a storehouse of knowledge. It is the fountain-head from which streams of knowledge flow. It is necessary to satisfy our thirst for knowledge. So it is our duty to go to the library regularly in order to equip ourselves with knowledge about different subjects. Thus, the true function of a school library is to supply the students with good books that widen their knowledge and help them grow intellectually. As a poet says, 

"Away from the noise and bustle, 

Just take me 

To the quiet sanctity of the library."
