An awful lot has been written about public libraries, how they are at the center of our communities, how they offer free books, how they provide free internet access and many other services. You know what, it is all true, but there is another temple of the book which is sometimes forgotten and that is My school library.
For whatever reason, many youngsters (Including me) don't get to the public library. Maybe family life is too busy. Maybe we haven't yet got the reading habit. The school library is the ideal place for US. It creates readers. It also offers a refuge to youngsters who want an alternative to the playground . The students are immersed in classic and modern fiction. The librarian helps us browse and recommends the latest cool reads. . It is the temple of information, research and narrative.
Most of all, it is the place where relationships are formed, recommendations are made and a reading culture is created. A good school library supplements the prescribed curriculum with that other curriculum, the hidden, secret world of your own favorite books, comics, DVDs and websites.
We at Sinclairs are blessed to have a very informative library with over 5000 books, truly this place is the beating heart of the school.
