Library : The Heart of the School

By : SUSANTI, S.Pd.

A school library is an important part of a school. It is not only a place where students can borrow and read books, but also a place where they can learn, explore new ideas, and develop their knowledge. A good library can support students in becoming active and independent learners.

One of the most important roles of a school library is to encourage students to enjoy reading. Reading regularly can help students improve their vocabulary, understand different ideas, develop their imagination, and gain new knowledge.A library can also organize interesting activities such as storytelling, reading challenges, book exhibitions, book discussions, and writing activities.

The library can also help students become more independent. When students choose books, search for information, and learn from different sources, they practice taking responsibility for their own learning.Simple activities such as borrowing and returning books on time, keeping books clean, and maintaining a quiet environment also teach students discipline and responsibility.

The library can truly be called the heart of the school because it helps spread knowledge, encourages reading, develops independence, and inspires students to keep learning.
