Celebrating Avid Readers: A Report on Reading Inspiration Day 2023 and Our Top Library Users


15 October - a special day to commemorate the birth anniversary of the Missile Man of India - Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam. A day to celebrate that reading can take you to faraway places at a single point of time. A day to cherish books, reading and the bond we share with books; no matter in what form they are - Paper or Kindle.

In honour of Reading Inspiration Day which was celebrated on 17th October 2023, we at St. Francis Institute of Technology are delighted to share the names of our most dedicated library users. These individuals embody the spirit of lifelong learning and exemplify the transformational power of reading. Their passion for books extends beyond the walls of our library, inspiring others to embrace the joy of reading and discover the vast world of knowledge it unlocks.

The Best Library Users of the last Academic Year were appreciated and felicitated at the hands of our Principal - Dr. Sincy George. On this special occasion, we couldn't be more proud to recognize our top library users for their unwavering commitment to reading:
