WHAT IS A SCHOOL LIBRARY?
By definition a library is “a building or room containing collections of books, periodicals, and sometimes films and recorded music for use or borrowing by the public or the members of an institution”
A library may be large or small By the thumb rule, at least 3 books
are allocated per child in a school library
E.g. a school with 40 students should have a library with at least 120 books
www.rotaryteach.org
WHERE TO SET UP THE LIBRARY
Survey 2-3 government schools to identify the one in which the library will be set up
Fill up the Form No. H1 for surveying prospective Happy Schools. Form available in FORM SECTION of “Resources” tab on website.
Find out the number of students in the school & class to decide on the number of books required to set up the library
www.rotaryteach.org
SETTING UP A TRADITIONAL LIBRARY
www.rotaryteach.org
Designate a room or space in the school building to set up the library
• Buy and install cupboards/racks to store the booksPlace the sorted books into the
cupboards/racks• Appoint a librarian to keep record of books
acquired and borrowed by the children
POINTS TO CONSIDER IN A TRADITIONAL LIBRARY
www.rotaryteach.org
Library cupboards/racks in rural schools are kept in head teacher’s room
Children are scared to go there and read or borrow books
This acts as a deterrent for traditional libraries
This form of library is useful in schools with more students and many classrooms
SETTING UP A CLASSROOM LIBRARY
www.rotaryteach.org
Put up a Classroom Book Hanger on a wall of the classroom at the beginning of the day. Fold it and put away when school gets overClassroom Book Hanger
can be made of canvas or water-proof material (used for making school bags) with eight transparent pockets capable of holding at least thirty books each

Classroom Book Hanger with 8 pockets
SETTING UP A CLASSROOM LIBRARY
www.rotaryteach.org
Label pockets according to language and GROW BY colour codes
Colour coded books to be put into the corresponding pockets
Put up the colour coded My Book User Chart on wall beside Classroom Book Hanger
HOW TO USE THE CLASSROOM LIBRARY
• The child goes to the Classroom Book Hanger• Picks up the bigger & more attractive book to read• Finds it too difficult and replaces with an easier book • Finally child takes the book most suited to their ability• When returning the book, child looks at the sticker on the spine and accordingly ticks a box of the same colour in the corresponding month on My Book User chart
www.rotaryteach.org
HOW TO USE THE CLASSROOM LIBRARY
At the beginning the markings will be more for the Green & Red boxesAs they learn to read the markings will become more in the Orange & White boxes for Classes III, IV & V
In Classes VI, VII & VIII the markings will start from Orange and with time should become more in Blue & Yellow
www.rotaryteach.org
HOW TO USE THE CLASSROOM LIBRARYMy Book User Chart to be monitored once every 15 days to see whether the reading ability of students is improving vis-à-vis the standard of the class
Appoint a Rotarian or a Volunteer to go and check the progress on My Book User Chart & if found unsatisfactory then discuss with the school the correct usageThe chart helps the teacher to
keep track of the progression in reading habits and comprehension ability of the students in the class
www.rotaryteach.org
ADVANTAGE OF CLASSROOM LIBRARY
The books stay in the classroom and children feel more comfortable to pick them up for reading. The books can be taken home by the students - however, it is advisable not to permit this as then record will need to be kept of which child is taking which book
Classroom libraries are more appropriate for schools with fewer students and 2-3 classrooms

AFTER THE LIBRARIES ARE CREATED
www.rotaryteach.org
