School Library

The pride of the school is the excellent Library which is centrally located amidst verdant greenery with a hemispherical dome atop. The Library has a vast collection of over 30,000 books on diverse subjects. For keeping the students well informed about the latest developments world-wise, the library subscribes to about fifty magazines and six national newspapers. The Library endeavours to provide students with opportunities to learn how to use materials in a variety of formats to access information, so that they can continue with lifelong learning. Quite an unusual feature in a day school, the school library functions from 8.00 a.m. to 7.00 p.m on working days. Former students and parents of Anandalaya students are eligible to become members of the Library on the payment of a caution deposit of Rs.500/- and annual charges of Rs.500/-
