Classroom Library

Each classroom has classroom library. Students can borrow books from the library. The classroom library is vital in this school because each child has to maintain reading log. Students have to make entry of reading in the log, which will be notified, to parents. Parents and teacher can have conversation during parent teacher conference.
Teaching is based on curriculum rather than textbooks. So varieties of literature will be kept in classroom library.
