On August 12th, we came together to celebrate Librarians’ Day, a date that holds special significance in the world of library science. This day marks the birth anniversary of Dr. S. R. Ranganathan, widely regarded as the Father of Library Science in India. His visionary contributions laid the foundation for modern library systems, and his famous Five Laws of Library Science continue to guide us in nurturing knowledge and access to information.
To honor his legacy and bring the spirit of continuous growth and engagement into our library space, we created a unique and interactive installation: the Feedback Tree.
Leaves on the tree symbolized suggestions from students and staff – ideas for improvement, new additions, or dreams for the future of our library.
Flowers represented appreciations – warm acknowledgments of what the library means to our readers and learners.
From first-year students to Heads of Departments, everyone enthusiastically participated. The tree bloomed with creativity, love, and insight – a powerful reflection of the strong bond our community shares with the library.
Some of the beautiful appreciations included:
"Librarians are really cheerful, always welcoming.."
"It is a wonderful, peaceful place to read, learn and reflect. A great place towards growth mindset."
"A very heartfelt thankyou for the vast resources made available to us."
Among the thoughtful suggestions were:
“Keep different books on different tables. Students can give reviews on contents in a month. Best Review can be rewarded”
“Please keep the AC on.”
“Include library hour in students schedule!”
We extend a heartfelt thank you to Mr. Anant Yadav, our dedicated Library Attendant, and our gardener, Mr. Manoj, whose creativity and craftsmanship brought the skeleton of the Feedback Tree to life. Their collaborative effort provided the perfect canvas for our ideas and appreciation to take root.
This celebration was more than just a tribute—it was a reminder that our library is a living, growing space. It thrives not only because of books and resources but because of the many hands, minds, and hearts that shape it every day.
A big thank you to all students, faculty, and staff who participated and helped us turn this day into a memorable celebration. With such strong community spirit, we are reminded that “a library is not just a building—it is a growing organism,” as Dr. Ranganathan himself once said.
Let’s continue to grow together 🌿

“The most anxious people are the most aware.”
Backman’s novel is both funny and touching, offering a reminder that behind every person’s facade is a story of vulnerability. It’s perfect for anyone needing a compassionate perspective on life’s uncertainties—something every engineering student faces during high-pressure moments.
