Library Committee
“A library is the delivery room for
the birth of ideas, a place where history comes to life.”
–Norman Cousins
Unlike the above mentioned quote it’s very true that Library
gives birth to new way of looking at things. It is also considered to be the
place full of knowledge where every book in their silence opens up with new and
unknown facts. In today’s world who wants to go to Library when we have become
so techno-friendly but the realities which books can show, technologies fail
there. Books and libraries always welcome their readers open-heartedly whoever
the reader might be. Once we get the taste of entertainment it provides with
all of its knowledge then we would get tempted towards it for its hypnotic
magic easily.
Department of English, MKBU is known as techno-friendly
department because though being an Arts Department it makes use of technology
as much as possible but rather than it has got a Library of its own. It’s made
for the ease of the students so that time and again they don’t have to go to
the Central Library and also they don’t have to get tensed about the
availability of books. This Library is open for all the students during the
Department hours.
Along with the Library the Department has also got its own
Reading Room which any student of the Department or any Research Scholar can
access according to their own need. Our Head of the Department Prof. Dr. Dilip
Barad Sir has also got his own Library inside his office from which he also lends
books to students.
Every year the Leader of Library Committee keeps on changing
and it’s a very good opportunity to learn many new things. And as it’s always
said without a support system a Leader alone can’t run the show, that’s why
along with the Leader a Committee is also elected.
As the Library is open for all so along with the students,
teachers and Research Scholars takes the advantages of it. In our Library we
have got many self- help books, CDs and DVDs of movies related to our syllabus,
NET/SLET help books, and materials of SCOPE to improve Language and many
reference books also. Every year this list gets extended with new books.
It would be appropriate to quote Zappa-
“If you want to get
laid, go to college. If you want an education, go to the library.”
–Frank Zappa
Working as a Leader of Library Committee was an awesome
experience. Everyday when the Department started I had to open Library for
someone’s book renewal or for issuing books to someone, and then I had to
maintain record of who took which book with their return dates. During
Department hours at any point of time someone might come and say that he or she
wants to issue a book than I can’t deny and have to do my duty. This is what
this Library taught me how to manage your own responsibility. Last but not the
least, I would like to thanks Prof. Dr. Dilip Barad Sir, all other faculty
members and also my Committee members without whom the proper functioning of
Library wouldn’t be possible throughout the year. I hope in the forthcoming future
also all the batches would carry on this tradition and would also contribute in
the growth and development of Department and its Library.
Last but not the least, I would like to thank all of my
Committee Members without whom I couldn’t have reach the expected goal. My
members are- Architaba Gohil, Binkalba Gohil, Kavita Mehta, Mital Raval, Megha
Trivedi, Komal Shahedapuri, Kiran Vora, Kailash Baraiya, Khushali Dave, Ajit
Kaliya, Krishna Khamal, Ridhi Maru and Rinkal Jani.
