  10. Feedback: St Joseph School Our school library is an important part our school. The basic aim of our library is to cultivate interest in reading so that students become familiar with books as service of pleasure and information. Students are using text books, reference materials from our library. Our library creates reading interest among students by means of story hours and library hours. It also help the student to make the creative use of their leisure hours. Children improved the habit of reading and referring to books for information.
