From Principal’s Massages
Dear Students,
I hope this message finds you well. I am Dr. Minakshi Chakraborty, Principal, KGTM and I want to remind you about the valuable resources available for you in our library. Libraries are collections of books, manuscripts, journals, and other sources of recorded information, that are accessible for use and not just for display purpose. This is the most important thing; the library should be used to the optimum level. Our library like most of the libraries has books which are organized by subjects. Libraries are much more than the books shelved book cases. Libraries in this sense, that is, primarily as storehouses for books and periodicals, have changed dramatically since the middle of the 20th century. Libraries now have emerged as a far-reaching body of information resources and services. Rapid developments in electronic communication and other data management devices have made it possible to store and retrieve information in many different forms and on a global basis. The terms ‘digital library’ and ‘virtual library’ have come to be used to refer to the vast collection of information to which people gain access over the Internet, some other types of wireless communication system. Despite all these significant changes, the cultural role of libraries remains unchanged.
Libraries remain responsible for acquiring and providing access to books, periodicals, and other media that meet the educational, recreational, and informational needs of their users. In short, a library is a place where a child can hear its first story and a scholar can carry out his or her research.
‘Happy Reading’
Best regards,
Dr. Minakshi Chakraborty,
M.A. Ph.D. Principal, KGTM
