Storehouse of knowledge- The library of Graphic Era hill University

One of the most interesting stage in one's life which gives them an opportunity to explore is the “College phase”. Life during the college is the time when the teenage years end and we all dive deep into the ocean of new beginnings and possibilities. This golden period better equips you for all the challenges you will face in life and creates a strong foundation of knowledge.

Our college “Graphic Era Hill University” is one such institution which strives hard in “Transforming Dreams Into Reality”.

Let me take you on a tour to the most important part of my college, “the library”.

A library is the heart and soul of an institution. It is the storehouse of books and repository of knowledge. An educational institution without a library is just a house without kitchen. When students read in higher classes their desire for knowledge increases. Desire for knowledge is best satisfied when the students enter a room of books. In college library, there are rich varieties of journals and periodicals. It is rightly said that ‘A library is reservoir of knowledge’.

Although many students go to library, it is a place of silence. There is no noise. Everybody treats it as a sacred place. There are different catalogues of books. My college library has more than 50,000 books concerning almost all walks of life like philosophy, fine arts, religion, science, general knowledge and many more books related to every department’s course written by masterminds. My college library also stores lot of novels of different authors. My college library meets the requirements of the students and teachers as it has a huge collection of books of different subjects.

The library is well maintained by the staff consisting of librarian, some assistants and few clerks. Sir Himanshu Rawat is the librarian of graphic era hill university.  They are responsible for keeping the books with care. They arrange the books in the bookshelves nicely and systematically so that students and teachers can easily find out their desired books. If one wants to issue the book he/she just need to follow the simple procedure. Every student is provided with a ID card, they submit their cards at the library counter and then issue the book of their choice. The librarian keeps the record of the books issued and returned with the help of the students ID card. One can issue only five books at a time.

The college library is meant for helping the students and teachers. It play the role of providing mental food to students and teachers. It is said that “A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life”.
