Government schools in India, particularly under programs like Samagra Shiksha, allocate library grants for developing and maintaining school libraries. These grants are used to purchase books and support activities that promote reading and develop essential skills.
Role and Importance of School Libraries:

• Promoting Reading: Libraries are crucial for developing a love for reading and fostering reading habits among students.
• Educational Growth: Well-managed school libraries provide access to knowledge and resources that can enhance students’ learning and development.
• Social and Intellectual Interaction: Libraries offer spaces for students to interact, share ideas, and engage in intellectual discussions.
• Classroom Libraries: Some schools also establish classroom libraries to make reading materials more readily accessible to students.
