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.

Reading Inspiration Day Event Day 2: Slogan or Quote Writing

Reading does more than inform—it inspires. 
Books can teach us so many things. Sure, they can relay interesting facts and information—but some of the best pieces of literature also offer wisdom and inspirational quotes from their authors. In that way, certain books become friends we can consult throughout our lives for guidance and advice. Just think about the number of books you have on your bookshelf, or the number of book quotes you have in your journal, quotes you’re saving to reread at a later date.


Ahead, we request you to share with us the best book quotes from fiction books, nonfiction books and more. No matter which genres are your favourite—whether you consider yourself a history buff, a science-fiction nerd or a memoir fan—there are tons of books for readers of all ages that offer profound life-changing quotes, uplifting quotes, happy quotes and even funny quotes within their pages. 
The best and selected quotes will be displayed virtually on 15th October 2022.
Please share your quote - https://forms.gle/yBMejBT8rQDmZaZ56
