Introduction
“A library is not
a building stacked with books – it is a repository and source of information
and ideas, a place for learning and enquiry, and for the generation of thought
and the creation of new knowledge.”
–National Knowledge Commission,
2005
Kendriya Vidyalaya Sangathan (KVS) is
the premier institution which pursues excellence and sets the pace in the field
of school education in the country by promoting national integration and a
sense of ''Indianness'' among the children while ensuring their total
personality development and academic excellence. Kendriya Vidyalayas are in the
fore front of integrating innovative ideas and up-to-date technologies in
teaching and learning.
The libraries in Kendriya Vidyalayas
are considered as the nerve centres of knowledge which serve the students and
staff members with needed information resources and act as vital partners in
the collaborative learning activities.
The role of libraries in the academic achievement of students is
indisputable. In the present 21st century learning environment,
students need to be equipped with essential skills that make them effective
seekers, evaluators and creators of information available in myriad formats.
The KVS Library Policy 2012 is aimed at
developing a working framework and to guide the librarians and administrators
for the effective organization and management of library systems in Kendriya
Vidyalayas all over the country. It provides guidelines to establish school
libraries with relevant resources, user oriented services and modern
technologies. The Policy intents to equip the students and staff members with
the information literacy skills required to face the challenges of the emerging
knowledge society. These guidelines are formulated based on the previous KVS Library
Policy (2008), CBSE: Organizing School Libraries Manuel (1998), IFLA/UNESCO
School Library Guidelines (2002), National Curriculum Framework (2005) National
Knowledge Commission recommendations on Libraries (2008) and a number of other
international school library guidelines.
