Library awaits computerisation LUDHIANA,
Nov 25 — Master Tara Singh College is housed in an old building, but it has more books in its library than any other college in Ludhiana. The library, located in the original building, has a big hall, subdivided into small rooms. Each room has books neatly stacked in almirahs. According to Ms Kulwant Kaur, Assistant Librarian, they have books on all arts subjects. The college has introduced BBA, BCA and B.Com courses and has a large number of books on these subjects. The BCA students use the library for their project work. Other students visit the library in their free periods to read magazines. It gets 45 magazines and eight newspapers. There is a separate reading room for the students to consult reference books. The library has a corridor stocked with a large number of books on religion. It also displays paintings depicting scenes from Sikh history. The collection of books comprises books on Geography, History, Music, Home Science, Physical Education and Office Management. There are a number of biographies, encyclopaedias and dictionaries. Ms Kulwant Kaur said, ‘‘We allow the publishers to bring their books for sale in the college. This enables the students to buy books at reasonable rates. The library gets an annual grant of Rs 60,000 to Rs 1 lakh for the purchase of books. The library is due to be shifted to the new building where the college has already been shifted. Then it will be computerised. There is a book bank which provides free text books to needy students for the entire academic year. However, not many teachers and students seem interested in reading anything other than magazines and newspapers. Very few teachers consult reference books. Mrs Kuljit Kaur, a senior music teacher, however, said: ‘‘I am fully satisfied with the books in the library. It has the latest books on Music, and I consult these books regularly.’’
