The 35th US President, John F. Kennedy stated, “If this nation is to be wise as well as strong, if we are to achieve our destiny, then we need more new ideas for more wise men reading more good books in more public libraries. These libraries should be open to all—except the censor." From the statement it is clear that Library is not only a place where books are collected and stored,rather, a resource that helps to learn,become educated, generate ideas, inculcate values,morals and ultimately brings a desired change in behaviour that helps to form a society enamoured with reason,intellect,values,morality and necessary positive thinking.
Educational institutions are places where behaviour of the people are shaped and reshaped, knowledge and skills are inculcated and the practices and norms to live in a civil society are taught. As libraries are the repository of such good things , thus having one well equipped and active library seems to the primary pre-requisite for any educational institution. It not only provides the resources to cater the curriculum needs but also the opportunities for cultivate the mind,feed the soul and germinate innovative ideas .Therefore, Alberto Manguel once said “Maybe this is why we read, and why in moments of darkness we return to books: to find words for what we already know."
