Rebuilding libraries-- Deccan Herald's Editorial on 14 March 2014
Rebuilding libraries-
The reading habit has certainly not vanished
The Union culture ministry’s programme to rejuvenate the library network in the country is a welcome step to reintroduce the role of books and reading in people’s lives. Its project, the national mission on libraries, was launched by President Pranab Mukherjee, who described a public library as a people’s university which should be accessible to all. The mission was conceived long ago but is only now being pursed and implemented. With a budget of about Rs 450 crore it seeks to improve the library system by setting up model libraries, creating a national virtual library, undertaking surveys and monitoring of the working of libraries and creating more capacities to cater to the needs of more people. These are laudable aims at a time when libraries are becoming dysfunctional due to various reasons.
There are 64,000 public libraries in India and almost all of them are in a state of disuse and disrepair. There have been attempts in the past to revive them and committees were set up to report on ways for revival. A central autonomous foundation was also established to create a national system and give assistance to libraries all over the country. The aims included modernisation, introduction of information technology to improve services and to create a national grid of libraries. Most of these efforts did not help much and the present initiative calls for better commitment and strategies to achieve results. Many public libraries are run like government offices with all the problems of bureaucratic indifference and even corruption affecting their functioning. The present plan is to improve the working of 5,000 libraries under the leadership of the foundation.
There is a view that the reading habit has declined and the availability of books on the internet has reduced the relevance of libraries. This is wrong. The habit is still strong and only the vehicles and tools of reading have changed. Books and libraries are relevant for vast numbers of people who do not have access to modern methods of dissemination of knowledge. The mission should target those who are deprived of opportunities and reading facilities, especially in small towns and villages. It should also develop services which will benefit physically and otherwise disadvantaged sections and the elderly. New ways to attract children to libraries should also be tried. Libraries have played an important role in changing society and its attitudes.

Living libraries- Editorial in The Telegraph, Kolkata Ed. (source: The Telegraph, 11 March 2014)
LIVING LIBRARIES
There is something indescribably sad about a country with more than 54,000 nearly-dead public libraries. Yet, although libraries die, books and the urge to read do not, if tended properly, in spite of the distractions of contemporary life. So, it is reassuring to hear that the Union ministry of culture is planning a well-funded project to survey, upgrade and revive around 5,000 of the nation’s public libraries, spearheaded by a foundation based in Calcutta. This is an excellent idea, provided it is conceptualized and implemented innovatively and sincerely. It is often the tendency among people who live in cities, and whose living spaces are shrinking rapidly, to use small libraries as dumping grounds for books they want to get rid of. The government and its agencies will have to work against the grain of this habit of treating these institutions condescendingly as catering to those who cannot afford books or their trendy substitutes. Building or reviving libraries is not a charitable activity. It is cultural activism and community-building of a serious, but essentially delightful, kind. It demands creativity, rigour and political will.
First, engaging local consultants in vernacular reading materials is crucial, even when acquiring English books and periodicals is an important part of the libraries’ agenda. Second, suburbs, small towns and villages are as important as the cities. In fact, habits of reading, and of reading- related critical and creative thinking, may actually be much more alive in the most unexpected places. Third, the libraries have to become part of local communities, courting the involvement of ordinary citizens and institutions like schools, colleges, music and art schools, and even tutorial homes, to name a few. Students, elderly people, and people with disabilities should be encouraged to participate, and even be employed in a whole range of capacities. Braille collections, home- visiting readers for the elderly, audio-books, and materials in other media should also be part of the services on offer. Digitizing the catalogue is important, but a lot of people accessing these libraries may not have internet connectivity, or they might have more traditional habits of seeking reading materials. Some libraries can also be exhibition spaces, or host cultural or adult-educational events. Artists can be commissioned to work with the collections and make site-specific installations. The potentials are endless, fun to realize, and within the realm of the possible.

Miranda House library shows the way
Author: Vijetha S.N.
NEW DELHI: Dingy corners, zero natural lighting, dusty books -- replete with yellowing pages -- that seemed to have never left the shelves: all this pictured in a crumbling library set up all those years ago is sadly what you come to expect when you walk into almost any college library in Delhi University’s North Campus. But Miranda House is truly an exception – be it for its square footage, colour-coded books, Braille library or the multiple seating arrangements sans dust. “The total carpeted area is around 21,275 square feet, we have about one lakh books dating from the founding days in the 1940s which are being constantly rebound, we also have e-books available as well as a digital resource centre,” said college Principal Pratiba Jolly, while conducting a tour of the library building which is a stand-alone structure of mammoth proportions in a corner of the college. “The original building was in the style of the 1970s when it was built, but we recently had the red-bricks added to the outer structure to blend in with the rest of the college,” she added. Renovations are still going on at the three-floored library, with a lift in the works. Ms. Jolly explained that any construction work had to be timed in order to not inconvenience the students. Miranda House is also one of the few colleges which keeps its library open until 7-30 p.m. Almost every other college library shuts shop at 3-30 p.m. This is in addition to the department libraries which are located in different buildings. The new four-year undergraduate course which has sought to do away with text-books has also prescribed a long reading list, and even here Miranda House seemed to be one of the few colleges which seemed to be consciously making sure enough copies were available. Another factor that tipped in favour of this college’s library was the importance given to reading for pleasure. An entire section was decided to fiction and poetry, contemporary and old. There was English and Urdu, Punjabi and even Tamil. “We organise book sales where we procure books from faculty and alumni and sell them for a smaller price to students and faculty.” There are separate seating arrangements to read and reference with enough natural and artificial lighting, and most importantly a separate section for the faculty is also being renovated. The college funding is not more than the funding given by the UGC to its neighbouring colleges whose libraries are not spaces that anyone would wish to spend any time in. But as Miranda House has displayed, the other colleges too -- now flushed with funds after the OBC expansion – can easily take a leaf out of this book.
