Dear Ms. Shaveta Arora,
It is nice to learn that you are going to celebrate Librarians Day at your institute.
Actually, the celebration needs to be focused towards better usage of Library and utilization of its resources.
As such, it depends a lot upon the nature and type of your library.
For a School library which caters to the needs of students of Elementary Classes to +12 which means teenagers.
It is needless to say that the function should be different than those of Higher Academic/Research Libraries. Arrangements however should be common for better orientation between the Library, its resources & the users.
For Elementary students you can arrange for a quiz with questions on Cinderella or Snow White & 7 Dwarfs while if yours is a Higher Academic/Research Library, certainly you have to device differently.
For instance if your library is a Higher Academic one and deals with Humanities & Social Sciences, you may arrange for debate on say Whether "BREXIT will enhance British Economy" provided you have a fair collection of or access to national & International journals on Social Science, Economics, Development Studies etc.
If yours is a Library of Medical Sciences Education & Research, You can opt for Wold Hepatitis Day (In fact, To day is World Hepatitis Day!!) and its impact in curbing Hepatitis Infections among Rural and Urban India.Of course you should have an worth while collection of books on Public Health, Tropical & Infectious Diseases, WHO materials and journals.
Summarily, all depends upon the collections of Library and the users.
I hope I could explain the intrinsic idea of Librarians Day Celebration.
Sincerely,
Siddhartha S.Ray.
Thank you so much sir for your guidance
