Openings of New Libraries

“The only thing that you absolutely have to know, is the location of the library,” says Albert Einstein. Books are the best companions and more so are guides to students who aspire for greater things in life. So, it’s our duty to inculcate in the young the habit of reading books so that they may grow in their imagination and creativity in the mind-limiting search box of the internet. The Retreat Don Bosco is immensely delighted to encourage students of evening night-school centres and SOTCHO to read subjects apart from their school curriculum and go further to widen their knowledge of the world. As a first step, along with the PG Department of Social Work, University of Madras, we have set up and inaugurated two libraries in Murugar Nagar night school and SOTCHO on the 30^th and the 31^st of October respectively. At both inaugurations, Fr. Selvakumar, Director of social ministry, introduced the students and staff from Madras University – highlighting their marvellous work towards the students of Yercaud. One of the MSW students came forward and explained their experience of collecting needed fund for their contribution. This great initiative was possible with the help of the PG first-year students of social work from Madras University who contributed 507 books to set up libraries. We are grateful for their involvement in inculcating in the young the habit of reading. The students will surely benefit from this great act of imparting knowledge.
