Parikrama Library
Our library is running in its fourth year currently. It’s still young and still needs much more molding
and shaping to be built into a fine yielding library. But in spite of
its naive experience, we are proud of it. We are here (and always will
be) as its parents, guardians, caretakers and everything else, to steer
its future towards prosperity and brilliance. This library was
established on the 28th of
June, 2008 by our senior family members of the 12th executive committee
and as it happens to all the beginners, they had started it with a mere
collection of 400 books. After four winters, we now proudly present you
an outstanding number of books in our library- a total of more than
3000 books. And they are just not any books; they encompass all spheres
of life and fiction straight from the pens and minds of great authors
like Leo Tolstoy, Dan Brown, J.K. Rowling, Laxmi Prasad Devkota, Jhamak
Ghimire and the like. In addition to that, the number of library members
has reached more than 500. Thanks to the library week, which we
celebrate in the month of June to honor the library’s noble birth;
during that very week, the membership figures rocketed sky-high and
culminated in our being able to boast about it.
This year saw many ad hoc changes in our library:-
- Computerization of the library, which was a boost to our time-management issues
- Rearrangement of the books according to their accession number and one special rack which consists of the ‘mostly read books’.
Apart
from these improvisations, we had also organized a documentary film in
order to raise funds for the library. All in all, this year, like every
other year, was full of fun and also, with the inevitable frustration
(in the absence of which joy wouldn’t have been so sweet)! Without the
cooperation of our fellow family members and without the inexorable
thirst of our voracious readers, the library wouldn’t have been what it
is today. We hope to continue serving as your oasis in the occasional
times of institute-turned-desert through our library, in the years to
come as well.
