After all the classes moved to our new, beautiful building, our library moved as well. Yes, we have a brand new library in the second floor of the new building. Even though all the teachers were super busy with exams and corrections these past few days, no one can compete with our librarian Mrs. Kalpana Chandramouli. I think everyone can imagine why!
I ventured into the library today with a sole goal to conduct an interview with Kalpana ma'am. You know, to find out how she is doing, how many books have we got, how many more boxes she needs to open, and interesting things like that but guess what? I was pulled into opening boxes and putting books on the brand new shelves! I love the feel of the crisp new books so i didn't mind at all but interview took the back seat in an instant.

| Student volunteers helping up in the library after school. Children were so excited to see the numerous new arrivals on the shelves! |
 |
| Every helping hand was welcomed as Kalpana ma'am was busy setting up the new library. |
I got so engrossed into sorting the books that i almost forgot to ask my questions but i did manage to get some interesting facts Kalpana ma'am shared with me.
We have crossed the 8,300 books mark with many more books en route to us! Amazing! We will very shortly be a 10,000 plus books library! In a single move of setting up the new library we have doubled our book collection or in other words, in past two days 4,500 books were placed on the shelves. I tell you, it's a lovely sight!
 |
| With the school vacation around the corner Mrs. Kalpana will issue more then 500 books to our budding readers today and tomorrow! |
 |
| Class teachers of grade 1 and PP2 were in the library selecting the books they will send home with children... |
 |
| Rakhi ma'am and Vaishali ma'am focusing on what books to select... |
Mrs. Chandramouli told me that no later then on 16th of October our new library will be in full swing, with every single book in place. We have beautiful collections of books for every child and every level. I was thrilled to see a great selection in the teachers section as well.
 |
| Selecting books for our students just became more exciting! So much to choose from! |
With our fantastic library in place i can only think of saying one more thing: "We at SMIS wish all our students happy reading! Enjoy!"
