Library Online Portal Launched
Library Kendriya Vidyalaya Kanjikode launched an Online Library portal to share resources to the students and make the library services available to the members.
The portal can be accessed at http://digitallibrary.kvklibrary.in
Yes, you can use the library during the lockdown.
You will not be able to borrow books from the library. But within the constraints I have tried to make e-books available for you. Here are the things that will be available on the portal.
The portal can be accessed at http://digitallibrary.kvklibrary.in
E-books, Digital Libraries and Librarian's Picks
You will find links to various websites providing access to free e-books. There are a good number of digital libraries, including International Children's Digital Library and National Digital Library of India, with a large collection of ebooks.
In the Librarian's Picks, I will be recommending books to read and this time the suggested books will from public domain only. This will be your chance to read the classics. You can download the e-books from the library site.
Online Magazines
On the portal, you will find links to various magazines that are available free online.
Online Quiz
You can improve your general knowledge through the online quizzes that are made available on the portal. You will be getting Library Points for every quiz you attempt and bonus points will also be awarded based on your performance.
We will also have some online quiz competitions
E-Resources and Study Materials
The library portal will also give you access to various e-resources, e-learning websites and materials prepared by our teacher. Selected resources for different classes will also be added shortly.
Book Reviews and Creative Works
The library will also provide you a platform to share your creative works. You can upload your book reviews, drawings., paintings, dance or music performances and other creative works.
Most of the resources are available publicly and some areas are restricted to the members of our library. Students of KV Kanjikode will be able to login to the site to access the resources. Your user name and password will shared through your online classrooms. For every activity you participate online you will be rewarded with library points. The points earned by you can be checked online.
The portal is in the testing phase. So I welcome your suggestions and feedback for further improvement.
All the staff and students are requested to take the Reading Pledge on National Reading Day on 19.06.2020 after logging in to the portal. You will be rewarded with Library Points and you can also download an e-certificate

Read! Succeed!
Excellent . At this time of pandemic bringing students and staff close to books and reading proves that libraries and librarians have come a long way from being labelled as storekeepers to information providers.
