The Learning Resource Centre, equipped with a huge range of books, journals and magazines on various subjects and disciplines, at MRIS Charmwood boasts of a prolific collection of resources to cater to the needs of varied readers. It is a central point for students to read, research, join in cultural activities, knowledge building, deep thinking, lively discussions and access information. With a flexible multi-use approach, library’s physical space enables a range of activities including quiet reading, study, collaboration, performance or community events.
By enabling our students to become library patrons, we at MRIS Charmwood empower them to utilize a space that can act as more than just a place to study. In addition to access to information, the library assists in the development of vocabulary, improved comprehension, instills the habit of reading and encourages a problem solving approach in the students.
Additionally the Resource Centre also has kindles for students browsing and offers e-Library facility to its students.
