The Library – A Resource Centre

The Library at The Namakkal Teachers Vidhyaashram Matric Higher Secondary School is more than just a collection of books—it is a vibrant knowledge hub and a dynamic resource centre that supports and enriches the academic, creative, and cultural development of every student.

Designed to inspire inquiry, curiosity, and independent learning, the library is equipped with a wide variety of printed materials, reference books, periodicals, and digital resources, offering a holistic learning experience. It fosters a culture of reading and research, encouraging students to cultivate lifelong habits of reading, critical thinking, and self-learning.

The Library also serves as a silent retreat for thoughtful reflection, exploration, and intellectual engagement. Students are encouraged to explore a wide range of subjects, genres, and ideas, promoting originality, creativity, and innovation.

Library Rules and Guidelines

To maintain an orderly and enriching environment for all readers, students are expected to adhere to the following rules:

Maintain Silence

Absolute silence must be maintained at all times inside the library. Discussions, mobile phone usage, or any form of disruption is strictly prohibited.

Timely Return of Books

Books borrowed must be returned on or before the due date. Failure to return books on time will result in a fine, as per school policy.

Loss or Damage of Books

If a book is lost, damaged, or defaced, the borrower is required to either replace it with a new copy or pay the cost as determined by the librarian.

Vacation Policy

All borrowed materials must be returned before the start of any vacation or long break. No new books will be issued just before the holiday period.

Borrowing Limits

Students are permitted to borrow a limited number of books based on their class. Books may be renewed once, subject to availability and librarian approval.

Book Gifting on Birthdays (Optional)

Students are encouraged to donate a book to the school library on their birthday. The book will carry a label with the student’s name, class, and academic year as a thoughtful and lasting contribution to the school’s literary wealth.

Respect for Library Property

Students must treat books, furniture, and all resources with utmost care. Scribbling, folding pages, or mishandling books will be treated as indiscipline.
