I wish to inform you that Samagra

introducing a special reading improvement program for all school going children
from classes 3rd to 10th during summer vacation. The program is titled as
summer reading program.
In the reference cited, All the RJDSES,
DEOS are instructed to conduct of summer reading program to all the children
from classes 3rd to 10th in all types of schools under government management
schools i.e., ZP Schools, Municipal, all types of residential schools, Model
schools, KGBVs, Ashram schools, etc.
The objective of this program will be
implemented in all Primary, Upper Primary, High schools, KGBVS, AP model
schools, AP residential school and all welfare society schools in the state.
The books available in the School Libraries will be distributed to all students
from class 3rd to 10th before schools closed for summer vacation to read those
books during summer vacation.
This program will support children to
improve Foundational Literacy skills and develop children as independent
readers and lifelong learners. The program is aimed to develop love of reading
by providing interesting Library books to them in Local Languages. These type
of programs develops a culture of reading among younger generations and it
became a habit of lifelong reading and consequently it improves the utilization
of existing public library facilities.
As part of Implementing this program
Samagra Shiksha, AP is decided to involve the State Publication Department is
having much resource of Children Literature.
There are Public Libraries in urban and
in some villages in the state. These Libraries having rich resource of children
literature. There is a practice in vogue that the books from the public
libraries are being issued to the children during school days, a very good
practice and collaboration between the schools and Public Libraries. If the
Public Libraries make the books available to the students during summer
vacation children will benefit from it and the program of summer reading will
become more effective in its intended outcomes. The rich treasure of Library
books of Public Libraries is very much required to all school students to
engage them during summer vacation.
In this regard, the Director Public
Libraries is requested to examine the above request and issue instructions to
the district and as well as mandal, village level Public Libraries for the
distribution of Library books to the students to utilize during summer vacation
and return once schools are reopened. Headmasters of the schools will designate
a teacher to receive the books, distribute to the children and return the books
to the Public Library.
Further, it is requested to issue
instructions to all the district librarians to invite students to the Public
Libraries during summer vacation and if possible a separate section with
children books may be arranged so that it will be easy for children to select,
sit and read the books.
In the view of the above, the Public
Library Department is requested provide necessary support for effective
implementation of the program.
