PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya No 2 Kota celebrates National Library Day on 14 November 2026, marking the beginning of National Library Week (14–20 November 2026). The occasion highlights the vital role of libraries in promoting reading habits, developing knowledge, encouraging independent learning and nurturing young minds.



With the inspiring message “Libraries Build a Better Tomorrow”, the celebration aims to remind students that books and libraries are essential companions in their journey towards knowledge, creativity and lifelong learning.


A Special Initiative: Create Your Own Home Library Corner

As part of the celebration, students are encouraged to participate in a simple yet meaningful home-based activity titled “Create Your Home Library Corner.”


The initiative aims to extend the culture of reading beyond the school library and encourage students to create a small reading space at home. Students are motivated to:


1. Choose a quiet and comfortable corner at home for reading.

2. Arrange their favourite books, including textbooks, storybooks, magazines and other reading materials.

3. Keep a small bookmark featuring an inspirational quotation.

4. Develop a daily reading routine of at least 15–20 minutes throughout National Library Week.

This simple activity will help students understand that a library does not necessarily require a large room or numerous books. Even a small, thoughtfully arranged collection can become a wonderful source of knowledge and imagination.


Objectives of the Celebration

The celebration focuses on the following objectives:


  • To cultivate a lifelong reading habit among students.
  • To promote the effective use of books and other reading resources.
  • To encourage independent reading and self-learning.
  • To develop vocabulary, comprehension and language skills.
  • To motivate students to establish personal reading spaces at home.
  • To strengthen the connection between school libraries, families and the reading community.

National Library Week: 14–20 November 2026

National Library Week provides an opportunity for students to reflect on the importance of reading in everyday life. Through the home library initiative, students are encouraged to make reading a regular family and personal activity.


The school library seeks to inspire every student to explore new books, discover new ideas, think critically and develop a deeper appreciation for literature and knowledge.


Message to Students

Dear Students,


A book is more than a collection of pages; it is a window to a world of imagination, information and inspiration. You do not need a big library to become a good reader. Start with a small corner, a few favourite books and 15–20 minutes of reading every day.


Make reading a part of your daily routine and let books become your lifelong friends.


“A Little Reading Goes a Long Way!”


Conclusion

National Library Day 2026 serves as a reminder that the habit of reading is one of the most valuable gifts we can give to our children. Through the initiative “Create Your Home Library Corner,” PM SHRI Kendriya Vidyalaya No 2 Kota aims to build a stronger reading culture that extends from the school library to every home.


Let us work together to nurture curious minds, confident readers and responsible lifelong learners.
