Fiction books are almost all Picture Books arranged alphabetically by title in rows, and are front facing. Shelves are organised by genre – one wall has the non fiction books and the other walls have fiction books for children between 6 – 9 years of age. The ambience of the room is vibrant because of the collection and the sunlight from three windows. The room is very spacious and we have laid out shelves along the walls to enable a working space in the center. This room is one of the most active rooms as most of our library users’ access this room. In this room, we have a collection of books for the age group of 7 to 12 years old. If you turn into any of the rooms you may find yourself in either the Light Orange Room… Do keep your eyes peeled for some interesting finds from way back in the day to fresh off the press.Īnother corridor hosts the Poetry collection, and books in other languages for younger readers. One holds books for adults readers find fat pickings here as the corridor is narrow but alcoves enable all to browse and find thanks to neatly marked shelf labels. If you are a reader, this is the room to be in! If you are confused, look within the Outstanding Shelf (yes, this room has it too!) or the large must-read shelf and if you are looking for an old favourite there are classics and more.Īs you exit the two-colour room you will encounter passageways jammed with books. There are fiction books of all types – from picture to novel and in early chapter sizes to thick tomes. There is non fiction in cupboards and on shelves. The Two-colour room Yellow and Dark Orangeĭepending on which door you choose to enter, you may find yourself in the dark orange section (young adults) or in the yellow section (pre – teens) Whichever doorway, the room is bursting with books of all/varied types and forms. Shelves are open, books front facing and open access but in each room cupboards pre existed and they contain treasures too !

Magazines can be browsed, read and returned for free. Separate stands host the magazines that arrive at Bookworm for both children and adults. The reception hosts all the new arrivals and the collection of graphic books. You will find books on Goa’s history and culture, short stories, biographies, children’s books, flora and fauna of Goa, food and more.Ī small table holds samples of Bookworm Publishing collection for browsing. Since we are located in Goa, we have dedicated a shelf to books from the region and about the region. When you enter Bookworm, we want you to feel that you have stepped into a warm arrival room. Is searching more important or finding the right book and reading it more important?Ĭome discover our arrangement at the Bookworm Library Mala Panaji Goa. How important is it to save the time of the user?ĭo we classify under the broadest heading or the narrowest heading? Which makes more sense? It becomes clear that we need to know our clients – age level, interests, searching patterns, particular situations etc. Is there a particular situation in which we are classifying?
We consistently draw on the wisdom of our fine children’s librarian friend and mentor Usha Mukunda, who asks questions that we should keep at the center of our workįor whose benefit do we classify or arrange books? This has compelled further refreshment and reorganization and we wished to walk you through our library – again.
With the abrupt closure of school, thousands of books are not returned and in the past month we have sent out over 100 boxes of books in the hope of small community lending. In the past few months, our library collection has been refreshed significantly.
Shelves are labelled for readers to be able to classify & locate their choices.
