1) Taking Library To Classrooms
Institute library has taken a small step for students which is called “Taking library to Classrooms”. Under this initiative committee have fixed magazine/Book stands in studios/classrooms for keeping old issues of magazines so that student’s can browse through them in their free time. This will inculcate the habit of reading books in students.
2) Library Event: Chai With An Author
Every year an event is organized by Institute library under which the committee invites an author from different fields of expertise for a free dialogue with the students over tea. This event is organized to get students interested in reading books pertaining to allied fields and Interdisciplinary Design fields other than architecture which is important for their holistic growth.
