The competition looked at the technique used to issue books, whether the learners had been borrowing books and the relationship the library had with the school curriculum.
“The library committee and the monitors worked hard creating displays and awareness campaigns for the learners,” said Tagwira.
According to the librarian, the awards were a great opportunity to network with other school librarians and share ideas and information.
School principal, Thiru Motheeram, said they are thrilled to be recognised for their efforts.
“When we started renovations we had a vision to create a direct relationship with the library, the learning process and curriculum,” she said.
