Dear Professional Friends,

Librarians' Day Greetings!

‘Books are for use declares the first law of library science of S.R. Ranganathan. Inculcating and encouraging reading habit is one of the implications of the law. Mysore Librarians and Information Scientists Association (MyLISA) tried to put forwards its small foot in this direction by conducting an elocution competition for high school children of Mysuru. The intent behind this competition was to promote reading habit among school children. This competition was held on 9th August 2015 (the birthday of Dr. SRR) at the Department of Library and Information Science, University of Mysore, Mysuru. The topic for the competition was *‘My favourite book’.*

The competition was attended by 58 students from 22 schools. The parents and teachers accompanied the students and witnessed the competition. The range of books read and the presentation of the summary of the books by the children amazed the audience and the judges alike.

It is pleasant to note that the autobiography 'Wings of Fire' by Dr. A.P.J. Abdul Kalam was the most talk about book in the competition. Even Kannada speakers talked about it. MyLISA takes this opportunity to salutes the great soul who taught us to dream. You will live in our hearts forever…!!!

*The result of the competition is as follows:*

Kannada Elocution

First Prize: Ms. Anusha B. of Teresian Convent Second Prize: Ms. Thanushree M.N. of St. Joseph’s State School Third Prize: Ms. Deepika K. of Teresian Convent

English Elocution

Ezhan of St. Arnold’s School; and, Mr. Vidyasagar G. of Harividyalaya

MyLISA congratulates the winners and all the participants for their habit of reading books. We wish them to increasingly continue their reading habits.
