“Libraries store the energy that fuels the imagination. They open up windows to the world and inspire us to explore and achieve, and contribute to improving our quality of life.”
At School Library, we strive to create a learning environment that empowers the students to connect with, engage with and utilize this information in meaningful and purposeful ways.
Students are welcomed during the time allotted to each class and are also encouraged to come during the break time. Our school library is a learning resource centre as it houses informational resources- the expensive reading material. Library is well stocked with a wide collection of books and CDs on a variety of subjects. It also provides teachers with instructional material and professional resources, curriculums and reference books.
The GGPS library provides information and ideas that are fundamental to functioning successfully in today's information and knowledge-based society. The GGPS library equips students with lifelong learning skills and develops the imagination, enabling them to live as responsible citizens.
Fundamental to this learning environment is the development of a school wise information services where learners have opportunities to access multiple sources and forms of information and the appropriate technologies to do so.
Our library is a catalyst for literacy and reading and for teaching and scaffolding inquiry learning. School libraries make a difference to students’ understanding and achievement and provide support for teaching and learning throughout the school. Our library is an important part of the school community and reflects and welcomes this community.
