Students of the Moongibai Goenka Girls’ Higher Secondary School can now enjoy a more well-stocked library as an additional 400 books have been given to the school, as part of the ‘Spreading the Joy of Reading’ programme.
The initiative is under the Lit Fest banner of The Hindu Group, in collaboration with the title sponsor, G Square, where as many as 30 schools in Chennai, Coimbatore, Tiruchi and Kancheepuram will get a collection of 400 new books.
R. Santhakumari, headmistress of the school, was excited about the additional reading material for the students. “Every week there are two periods dedicated to the library so that the students can improve their reading. Most students in our school are from economically-weaker sections, and hence, do not have access to other reading material. These new books will help with that,” she said.
