The School Library – A World of Books for Curious Minds

“There is more treasure in books than in all the pirate’s loot on Treasure Island.”
— Walt Disney

At Mahavir Senior Model School, we believe that every book opens a new world for young minds. Reading helps students think creatively, learn independently, build strong values, and develop a lifelong love for knowledge. Our library is a welcoming, student-friendly space where curiosity is encouraged, imagination is nurtured, and learning becomes joyful.

More than just a place to read, the library is a hub for discovery, reflection, and exploration—supporting both academic learning and personal growth.

Our Libraries

To cater to the needs of different age groups, the school has two well-equipped libraries:

• Junior Library (Classes I–V) – Bright, colourful, and engaging for young readers
• Senior Library (Classes VI–XII) – Designed to support deeper learning, research, and independent reading

Together, the libraries house over 10,800 carefully selected books, along with 35 magazines and 4 leading daily newspapers, ensuring that students stay informed, inspired, and curious.

What Students Can Explore

Our collection is designed to match students’ interests, learning levels, and aspirations:

• Storybooks and novels that spark imagination
• Non-fiction books that build knowledge and critical thinking
• Picture books and general knowledge resources for young learners
