Library

One major problem of my research is lack of acquaintance with school infrastructures. For example, I have assumed that rural students will be aware of library. It is not possible for rural students to buy the text books and the reference books. Another problem is repeated change in text books, syllabus etc. Therefore, library is important.

School can receive books from the link library sources or can purchase books from district level book fair. During my visit, I have seen very few almirahs to store books. And there is no place to read the book in front of almirahs. In some of the schools, students can not understand the word 'library'.

Definition
By the definition of Encyclopaedia Britannica, library is the collection of books used for reading or study, or the building or room in which such a collection is kept. The word derives from the Latin liber, "a book,"whereas a Latinized Greek word, bibliotheca, is the origin of the word for library in German, Russian, and the Romance languages. Today's libraries frequently contain periodicals, microfilms, tapes, videos, compact discs, online services, and other materials, as well as books.
