"What a school thinks compared to about its library is a measure of what it feels about education"
At Shalom Hills International School, we too endorse the sentiments of Gustave Flaubert when he exclaimed, "Read in order to live" . For this reason we want our dear students to live and not just exist? The school's 'State of the Art' Library offers the student a bottomless treasure trove to lose themselves into the wonderful world of books of all genre from all parts of the world. The well-stocked library in The Middle and Senior Wing transports the young minds into another world; when you pick up a book and lose yourself into it, it's like you have transcended your present situation and gained entry in an exciting world of adventure, mystery, knowledge or discovery. Reading offers us a chance to see the world from someone else's eyes, thus broadening our horizons and opening our minds to new possibilities. Let's remember the words of Sir Richard Steele, who said, "Reading is to mind what exercise is to the body".
The school library caters to all genres of books which are used as an index to a child's inclination. Depending upon
the students' personal choice and fascination in a
book - be it a Sci-fi, fiction, non-fiction, classic, adventure or drama, children can be guided into choosing the right subjects
which are compatible with their areas of interest and inclination.
