Library

School libraries are fundamental to developing engaged readers who have the capability and inclination to read and learn beyond their years at school. School libraries help students learn to find and use the information they need, to succeed now and in their future life and work.

Libraries allow children to ask questions about the world and find the answers. And the wonderful thing is that once a child learns to use a library, the doors to learning are always open. It serves as the centre and coordinating agency for all learning happening in school. Our school library is a central hub, supporting every student and staff member.

• • Improves student outcomes
• • Welcomes people in
• • Brings people and information
• • Embodies the principles of "learner agency"
• • Helps close the education gap

Sidney Sheldon perfectly describes: “Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life.”

At GDIS, library plays an important role in the overall development of a student. The art of learning and the importance of referencing and researching is learnt here. Children right from grade 1 are brought here, to feel and be inspired by numerous books on different genres.

GDIS believes in this powerful saying, “Reading should not be presented to children as a chore, a duty. It should be offered as a gift.” – Kate DiCamillo
