जहाँ एक और पुस्तकोपहार के पर्यवाराण सम्बंधी अनेक फायदे गिनाये जा सकते हैं ,वही यह नहीं हो सकता की इसके कोई 'साइड इफेक्ट्स' ना हों...... 

1) प्राथमिक कक्षाओं मे NCERT की सभी अभ्यास पुस्तिकाएं हैं  और विद्यार्थी उन्ही मे लिखते भी हैं,  अब ये सही या गलत उत्तर से भरी  हुई अभ्यास पुस्तिकाएँ, नये विधार्थी के पास जाती हैं तो वह  सही जवाब बिना मेहनत के प्राप्त करता है  और गलत जवाब लिखें होने पर गलत को ही सही मान कर उस गलत को सीखता है....  अतः प्राथमिक विभाग मु. अध्पयापक के नेतृत्व  में अपने विभाग में ही  पुस्तकों उपहार  हेतु अभिभावक व् बच्चों का मार्गदर्शन कर इसे संचालित व् संकलित करने का  कार्यक्रम  बनायेंगे और प्राथमिक विभाग में ही ग्रीन बुक बैंक बनाया जायेगा.

             

 2) कक्षा vi से xii तक  भी, उपरोक्त तो लागू  होती ही है  साथ ही ये पुस्तकें कई साल तक इस्तेमाल हो जाने के कारण  बच्चे मे एक उत्साह और उन्हें  पुस्तक से बाँध कर रखने मे असमर्थ सी प्रतीत होने. लगती हैं.... 

                

 3) CEA के लाभार्थी बच्चे और अभिभावक भी पुस्तकोपहार से  पुस्तक प्राप्त करने की आशा रखते हैं इसलिए अच्छी  पुस्तकों का आभाव रहता है...  जबकी वो समर्थ हैं और साल समाप्ति पर इन्ही CEA वाले बच्चों की अच्छी-अच्छी पुस्तकें  NON-CEA वाले बच्चों को मिलें तो अच्छा हो...

4. बच्चों को पुस्तकोपहार मे साफसुथरी, बिना निशान या INK लगी और सुन्दर कवर चढ़ा कर पुस्तक उपहार मे देने के लिए लानी चाहिए... NCERT और विषय-संबंधी संदर्भ पुस्तकों के अलग-अलग बंडल बनाएँ (कक्षा के अनुसार); साथ ही, फिक्शन और नॉन-फिक्शन पुस्तकों के भी अलग बंडल बनाएँ। कृपया किसी को भी वर्कबुक, या कटी-फटी, गंदी और फटी हुई किताबें उपहार में न दें।

5. हो सकता है इस प्रकार हम पुस्तकोउपहार का 100 प्रतिशत का लक्ष्य प्राप्त न करें परन्तु 50 % भी अच्छा लक्ष्य है...   जहाँ पर्यावरण की रक्षा का पाठ और पढ़ाई की गुणवत्ता, दोनों मे बैलेंस बना कर चलना उतम रास्ता हो सकता है.....

Leadership for Change:

 Advocacy, Community Partnership & School Library Promotion

 

1. Rationale

The contemporary school librarian is no longer only a custodian of books and library resources. The librarian is increasingly expected to function as a:

• Learning facilitator
• Instructional and curriculum partner
• Reading culture champion
• Digital information facilitator
• Change leader
• Community connector
• Advocate for equitable access to knowledge

The session focuses on how KVS Librarians can move from “managing the library” to “leading library transformation.”

Objectives

By the end of the session, participants will be able to:

1.       Explain the concept of leadership for change in the context of school libraries.

2.       Identify their role as advocates for reading, information literacy and lifelong learning.

3.       Develop strategies for effective teacher–librarian–student collaboration.

4.       Build meaningful partnerships with parents, alumni and the local community.

5.       Promote library programmes through effective communication and digital platforms.

6.       Develop a simple Library Advocacy & Promotion Plan.

7.       Identify measurable indicators to demonstrate the impact and value of the school library.

 

Key Message

“A future-ready librarian does not simply manage a library; a future-ready librarian mobilises people, resources and ideas to transform learning.”

 

Policy Alignment

Framework	Relevance to the Session
NEP 2020	Holistic education, experiential learning, reading culture, digital literacy, community participation and equitable access to learning
NCF-SE 2023	Library as a learning environment, multidisciplinary learning, competency development, collaboration, inquiry and meaningful learning experiences
KVS Library Policy 2025	Strengthening library services, reading promotion, library–curriculum integration, digital resources, innovative programmes, collaboration and effective utilisation of library resources

 

Core Leadership Model

LEAD – LIBRARY CHANGE LEADERSHIP

L – Listen
Understand the needs of learners, teachers and the school.

E – Engage
Build relationships with teachers, students, parents and community.

A – Advocate
Communicate the value and impact of library services.

D – Demonstrate
Show measurable outcomes through innovative programmes and evidence.

Opening Activity: “My Library in One Word”

Duration: 10 minutes

Ask participants:

“If you had to describe the present status of your school library in ONE word, what would it be?”

Examples:

• Vibrant
• Quiet
• Transforming
• Underutilised
• Innovative
• Inclusive
• Digital
• Traditional
• Inspiring

Follow-up

Ask:

“What one change would transform that word into something better?”

This establishes the need for leadership for change.

From Librarian to Change Leader

Traditional Role

Library Manager

• Books
• Records
• Circulation
• Shelving
• Stock verification
• Library discipline

Future-Ready Role

Library Leader

• Reading culture
• Curriculum integration
• Information literacy
• Digital literacy
• AI literacy
• Teacher collaboration
• Community engagement
• Student leadership
• Innovation
• Advocacy
• Impact assessment

Key Transition

Custodian → Facilitator → Collaborator → Advocate → Change Leader

 

What is Leadership for Change?

Leadership for change means:

The ability to inspire people, build partnerships, introduce meaningful innovations and demonstrate measurable improvements in learning and library engagement.

For a KVS Librarian, change leadership can involve:

Changing spaces
→ attractive, inclusive and flexible library environments

Changing practices
→ from issue-return services to learning experiences

Changing perceptions
→ library as an essential learning hub

Changing partnerships
→ stronger collaboration with teachers and parents

Changing outcomes
→ improved reading, information literacy and student engagement

Advocacy: Why Does the Library Need an Advocate?

Many excellent library programmes remain invisible because their impact is not communicated.

Advocacy means:

“Making the value of the library visible to decision-makers and stakeholders.”

A librarian should be able to answer:

• What does the library contribute?
• Who benefits from it?
• What problems does it solve?
• How does it support the curriculum?
• What evidence demonstrates its impact?

 

The 5C Model of Library Advocacy

Connect

Connect library activities with school priorities.

Collaborate

Work with teachers and departments.

Communicate

Share achievements and opportunities.

Celebrate

Showcase students, books, projects and reading achievements.

Collect Evidence

Document participation, outcomes and impact.

 

Activity: “Elevator Pitch for My Library”

Duration: 13 minutes

Participants imagine that they have 60 seconds with the Principal.

They must complete:

“Our school library matters because…”

Include:

1.       One major library strength

2.       One student benefit

3.       One innovative activity

4.       One measurable outcome

5.       One support/resource required

Example

“Our library is becoming a hub for reading and inquiry. Through collaborative reading activities and subject-linked projects, students are increasingly using library resources beyond textbooks. We have engaged students through book discussions and digital resources. I would like to strengthen this further through teacher collaboration and dedicated library activities.”

 

Community Partnership

A school library cannot function in isolation.

Potential Partners

Within School

• Principal
• Teachers
• Students
• Counsellor
• ICT staff
• Activity coordinators

Beyond School

• Parents
• Alumni
• Local authors
• Publishers
• Universities
• Public libraries

• NGOs
• Community organisations
• Subject experts

Stakeholder Partnership Map

Stakeholder	Possible Contribution

Parents	Reading at home & book donations
Alumni	Mentoring, expertise & resources
Authors	Author interactions
Publishers	Book exhibitions & literary activities
Public Libraries	Resource sharing

Activity: “Build Your Library Partnership Network”

Duration: 10 minutes

Ask each group to select one library challenge.

Examples:

• Low library footfall
• Declining reading interest
• Limited teacher collaboration
• Low awareness of digital resources
• Limited parental involvement

Then identify:

Challenge → Partner → Action → Expected Outcome

Example:

Low reading interest
↓
Parents + English/Hindi teachers
↓
Family Reading Week
↓
Increased student reading participation

Library as a “Brand”

Library Signature Programmes

• Library visits
• Books issued
• Digital resource usage
• Reading programme participation
• Teacher collaborations
• Student projects
• Book reviews
• Reading challenges completed
• Parent participation
• Student feedback
