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 commemorate this true spirit of librarians on the Librarians' Day and to pay tribute to the Father of Library Science in India - Dr. S.R. Ranganathan on 12th August 2023, the Learning and Information Resource Centre (LIRC) of St.Francis Institute of Technology arranged for an exciting Participatory Session for students and faculty members. The main organisers for the event was the Central Library.  Our students from Third Year and Final Year were selected for the event as they are the ones majorly making a mark in the library literally and otherwise with their footfalls and enthusiasm.
