About SRF Vidyalaya
SRF Vidyalaya believes that good quality education is an instrument that lights up the path of the learner and brings a positive change on a personal and community level. The SRF Vidyalya was set up in April 2020 by the SRF Foundation. The aim of the school is to provide value-based quality education to children belonging to the underprivileged and/or lower income groups and to reduce the burden of expensive school fees on the parents.
Situated in a clean and green campus in Sector 40 Gurugram with well-ventilated classrooms the school has grown from Nursery to Grade 5 and will go up to Grade 12 in the coming years. SRF Vidyalaya is an English medium co-educational school and follows CBSE Board pattern with spiral curriculum enriched by scholastic and non-scholastic subjects.
Over the last three years the school has been well received by the community. There are 200 students currently enrolled in the school and are guided by a well-trained team of teachers and committed volunteers.
With a nominal fee structure the school follows a low-cost high-quality model with contribution from SRF Ltd and other like-minded organizations. The curriculum is designed supported and aligned to the experiences and expertise of The Shri Ram Schools thereby following a child-entered curriculum.
Your role as a Librarian:
Libraries aim to provide with easy access to information and recreational resources. A library
without a librarian is just a collection of books. It is the librarian who brings it all together. In
addition to managing the day to day operations of the library your role as a librarian includes:
helping kids to find books of their interest
keeping the library looking attractive and tidy
promoting the library within the school
engaging with kids to provide a range of activities
Helping Kids in the library
Many kids just want to browse through the library stock to make their selection.
A well-organised and attractively presented collection is important.
Books should be arranged tidily and in the correct order to facilitate easy access.
Be ready to suggest what to read next what to do next how to get involved.
Shelf order
There are conventions in library shelf order which should be adopted in order to
make it as easy as possible to locate books.
To maintain appropriate order for different categories of stock
The information required about each book for shelving to be maintained
Books should be evenly spaced and each shelf should be no more than 3/4 full.
Shelf displays:
Although the above methods of arranging the books should be followed for most of
the library stock a kid will often be attracted to a particularly interesting book
displayed face out so that the title and jacket design catches the eye.
In choosing books to display in this way take into account the visual appeal of the
book and only display books in good condition. Book easels are useful for the face out
display of books.
Assisting kids who come in the library:
Helping kids means far more than keeping books in order. It also means presenting a
helpful and welcoming face to library so that they feel free to ask for help.
Sometimes you will help them find what they are looking for in your own library.
By listening to your kids by knowing their interests by talking to them about what they are really looking for will you be able to help.
