LIBRARY POLICY 2025 - 2.4.3 Periodicals  

i. The library should subscribe to up to 50 periodicals, including weekly, fortnightly, monthly, quarterly, and biannual publications. These should cover general topics, subject-specific content, children's magazines, and educational and research journals, as selected by the library committee. Subscriptions may include both digital and print formats, depending on the library's needs and budget availability.  

ii. The content of the periodicals must be relevant, useful, and age-appropriate for both students and staff. They should be available in English, Hindi, and regional languages.

iii. To encourage reading habits, multiple copies of children's magazines should be.....                                       9 | Page

procured and distributed to class libraries at the foundational and preparatory stage for leisure reading. 

iv. Periodicals may be sourced locally or subscribed to via post for a maximum duration of one year, with renewals done annually. 

v. For schools with more than two sections, the number of magazine subscriptions should be increased proportionately. Conversely, in single-section schools or those with fewer users, the number of periodicals may be adjusted accordingly. 

2.4.4 Newspapers  i. The library should subscribe to at least 10 newspapers, including 4 national newspapers, 2 focused on business and the economy, and 2 regional newspapers. Additionally, efforts should be made to include at least 2 digital newspapers among the 10 subscriptions. 

ii. The recommended distribution of newspapers by language is as follows: 4 in English, 4 in Hindi, and 2 in a regional language. 

However, for schools located in regions where Hindi is the primary regional language, the total number of newspapers may decrease. 

iii. To enhance reading and provide information about career opportunities, the library may also subscribe to a business daily as well as an employment newspaper ( Rojgaar Samachar)  in addition to general newspapers. For schools with more than two sections, the number of newspapers (both print and digital) can be increased proportionately if required. 

Furthermore, two additional copies of a national daily may be subscribed—one for display outside the library and another for the foundational and preparatory sections.

1.Definitions: 

A book is usually a long, bound work focused on a single narrative or subject, 

• Books: Examples include novels, textbooks, biographies, or encyclopedias. They are meant to be read over time and often have lasting value.

A magazine is a shorter, regularly published collection of articles on various/single topics, often tied to current trends or events.

• Magazines: Examples include National Geographic and TIME.  They are designed to be consumed quickly and replaced by the next issue.

      Considerations

• Depth vs. Variety: Books provide depth on one subject, while magazines offer variety but less detail.

• Durability vs. Timeliness: Books are durable and timeless; magazines are timely but disposable.

• Cultural Role: Books often shape long-term knowledge and culture, while magazines capture snapshots of trends and public opinion at a given time and space.
