Our library conducted a Reader’s Club Activity where students wrote short notes about their favorite authors. Each student selected an author, explored their life, famous works, and writing style, and then presented their findings in simple words.
The activity helped students understand the person behind the book, improved their research skills, and encouraged deeper reading. Students participated enthusiastically and shared interesting facts, making the session meaningful and engaging.
Our school library conducted a Reading Circle and Book Browsing Activity where students explored a variety of books displayed on the table. Each child selected a book of their choice and enjoyed a peaceful silent reading session.

After the lamp lighting, all the students took a pledge to develop a regular reading habit and to grow as thoughtful and informed individuals. It was a special moment that brought everyone together with a shared purpose.
Our Principal Sir delivered an inspiring speech, highlighting the importance of reading in a student’s life. He encouraged everyone to make reading a daily habit and to explore the world of books with curiosity and passion. His words truly motivated the students to look at reading not just as a hobby, but as a way of life.
Following the speech, the Readers Club members introduced themselves to the audience. They also shared their favorite genres and books, which helped create a sense of community among the readers.
The event was a wonderful beginning for the Readers Club, and it gave everyone a chance to connect, share, and grow together through the love of books. We look forward to many exciting activities, discussions, and reading sessions in the coming days!
