The Barren pages are the fertilious lands for a reader that gives heaps of joy and sorrow. Reading is a good habit people say and true they say. They say it increases vocabulary but yes, it refines our thoughts too. For someone in a dark, lost phase of life, books, be in Bible or Quran or an amusing piece of literature proves a boon and for the students, it’s the torch of enlightenment.
Carrying and encouraging the same feeling in students hearts Bharatiya Vidya Bhavan Vidyashram Pratapnagar Jaipur commenced with 3rd Edition of International School Library Month with Book Mark Exchange Project.
Under the banner of ISLM, Inter-Section Book Mark Designing Contest for Classes VI-VIII was held on Oct 10, 2017 where nearly 80 students took part in marking the pages with colourful exhibits of theirs. Topics for Class VI was “My Favourite Character”, for Class VII was “My Favourite Book” and for Class VIII, it was “My Library – Green Library”. Not only this, nearly 40 of these Book Marks were sent to Sandringham College, An Australian School that was a part of collaboration.
Next in line of celebration was Book Fair organized by Dolphins that is held annually in school premises, giving the children opportunity to browse their interests, discover what they like and to be lost in a world of their own. Ranging from “Fault in Our Stars” to Kalam’s “Wings of Fire”, the racks showcased a variety of novels, coloring books, autobiographies, journals etc.
