Welcome back to school. The Library Media Centre wish you awonderful reading experience for the whole year.

So , what’s so good about reading ?

Reading is fun. From the first experience of chanting nurseryrhymes, laughing at strange-sounding words, and turning pageswith an adult, reading offers a life-long pleasure.Reading is unique. Where other media will deliver plot superblywell, books also allow you to get under the skin of the characters,and hear their thoughts.Reading makes you feel good. It enhances health and well-being. It can be relaxing and stress busting. It can take you out ofyourself and away from life’s pressures.Reading helps you make sense of yourself. It gives you differ-ent perspectives on life, and can help you understand yourselfbetter.Reading connects to each other. It can help you see otherpoints of view; it connects you to wider worlds and ideas.Reading is a creative act. Readers use their own imaginations tobring the writer’s text alive. Because reading fires the imagination.It can inspire one to produce his/her own creative work.Reading leads to learning. Reading continually informs, andallows learning for life. It helps one develop skills of literacy, inter-pretation and expression.
