Ms. Chinmayee Bhange, Librarian
Reading is recognized as an art capable of transforming man’s life and his entire society. In an
age when browsing the net, playing with funky handsets and passing nonstop SMSs seem to
be the order of the day, reading a book in a peaceful corner of a library has become an archaic
idea for most people. While technology is slowly taking a steady control over individual lives,
the reading habit is fast vanishing into thin air.
With an objective of reducing this barrier and introducing persons to reading as a leisure, the
sessions were planned for the boys residing in St. Francis Prem Sangh and the House Keeping
Staff of St. Francis.
English, Hindi and Marathi newspapers and books with big fonts were kept as a reference
source.
13 boys from Prem Sangh and 15 persons from house keeping participated in the sessions.
Later, a drawing and painting contest was also conducted for the boys from St. Prem Sangh.
3 winners from each category were selected and appreciated.
