ON INTERNATIONAL LITERACY DAY. A REPORT DATE: 8TH SEPT’ 09 Thirty voracious readers with three enthusiastic, encouraging mentors visited the British council library on the occasion of International Literacy Day i.e. 8th sept 09. The student were awe-struck at at the sight of systematic store house of books and the hospitality of the staff of British Council left them with the feeling of home like comfort. As Francis Bacon said ”Some books are to be tasted, others to be swallowed , some few to be chewed and digested”. The smell of the books and aura of British Council library increased the appetite of hungry, starving readers. So, very soon they started exploiting the library and noted down some names of books to be included in their school library. They took membership cards too. On the whole it was quite satisfying experience for the knowledge seeking hearts. By Mrs. Shivani Arora Readers club K.V. AND ME If K.V. is a country. I am its brave serving soldier.
