A brief description about my school library
In this essay, I am narrating about my school library. It is a large hall containing several books that are neatly placed on the shelf. I enjoy reading books in this serene place. So, every Thursday, we visit this calm place and read novels, magazines and newspapers. We also follow some rules of discipline during this period. After reading, I improved my vocabulary and acquired knowledge about various aspects of life.
On the second floor of our school building, a large library hall is situated beside the staff room. It is a large hall placed with several chairs and tables. At the entrance, a large slogan board is placed on the wall that is inscribed with words 'Silence is Gold and Speech is silver'. So the students do not speak when they enter the library hall. On the wooden shelf different types of books are placed. During the library period, we visit this place and enjoy reading books. In the corner of the room, large windows are placed and we can see our school garden from the windows. How books are issued in the library
I am fond of reading books and my parents paid the membership fees to the library instructor. Every week, I issue my identity card to the instructor and get a novel to read. The books are systematically alphabetically placed on the shelves. These shelves are enclosed with large wooden and glass doors. In these shelves, some famous novels, non-fiction, and textbooks are placed. I love reading the series of 'The famous five' written by the author Enid Blyton. When I say that I want to read 'The Famous Five' the instructors find the book from the 'T' series. I receive a book on every Thursday and return the book on the next Thursday. Rules of discipline in the library period
Our headmistress has strictly instructed to be quiet in the library room. So, we do not talk to each other during this period. The instructor is strictly supervising us and if we talk during this period, he complains to our class-teacher. Then, our class-teacher punishes the students who do not follow the rules of discipline. Also, we should not loiter around the room during this period. Our feet should rest the floor and we should strictly not place our foot on the chair. But, I enjoy sitting in the room filled with serenity. In the classroom, we are sometimes distracted due to noise. But in the library room, we do not speak anything. Brief description of the library room
It is a large hall with three large windows on three sides. The portraits of great Indian leaders are placed on the walls such as Mahatma Gandhi, Jawaharlal Nehru, etc. Some scenery portraits are also stuck on the wall. Nearly ten large wooden tables are kept in the room along with five chairs for each table. A wonderful portrait of the Great Explorer Columbus who sailed amid of the seas exploring the route to India is also placed on the wall on top of the window. Two ceiling fans are fixed on the top. A large wooden shelf is placed near the entrance of the door. In this section, you can find magazines, manuals, newspapers, guides and some textbooks. Even the non-members can take books from the shelf. The students can read these books and place them on the shelf again. Two ceiling fans are fixed on the top. Benefits of the library period
In my class, everybody has inculcated the habit of reading today. Earlier, I did not read many books and hence did not know about many aspects of life. But today, I read novels, magazines and newspapers during this period. After reading novels, I improved my compositional skills and vocabulary. I read some wonderful articles about social problems, politics, latest technology etc. When I read the newspaper, I know about the current happenings of the world.

A nice article is given by the author about the library. The tradition of libraries in India has existed since ancient times. The libraries of Nalanda, Takshashila Library were famous worldwide. Along with printing, the popularity of libraries in India continued to grow. Books are friends of humans. While they entertain us, they also increase our knowledge. We also get information about civilization from books only. Books only make us aware of ideas from ancient times to present times. The library is a repository of knowledge and a good teacher. Many scholars also have their own libraries, but there is no person who has books of all subjects. Libraries have all kinds of books which are read while sitting there and can also be taken home as per rules.
