Education is vital and more importantly school education has more role to play in developing nascent leaner into a good productive learners in digital age. Many digital media and devices are making a beeline to induce the digital learning. The challenges for schools are to see all children’s are smart learners along with digital learning methods and resources. Today there are many good schools with state of art facilities in India giving important many aspects of learning. There are even great school libraries seen within the schools as one of the important centres. It is School Libraries which act as a nascent centers for elementary resources useful for budding learners making them open up to the new world of understanding and learning. The school library provides a model for quest for learning and building knowledge and confidence in seeking and processing information.

Making this first ever event for School LIS professionals and school managements to meet and share knowledge and expertise from participating school library professionals. The function of libraries has changed dramatically since the global change in ICT from storing of books to learning and disseminating knowledge. The role of Library and Information Centers in the present era is ever changing and the traditional services have taken a new shape in the light of developments in technologies. Now Libraries are facilitating their users with 24 x 7 access using Internet and digital media and technology. The school libraries used to supply limited reference resources to their children’s earlier, but today’s there are multiple resources available on fingertips. This has paved way for enhanced expectations of school library users also and resulted in a necessity to provide quality services for user satisfaction and also to discharge their routine functions effectively and

efficiently. School Library services need to be frequently evaluated

and updated to the changing needs of library users. In a nut shell it calls for retooling and re engineering of school library services.

The focus of the school libraries is now on digital content. Therefore, new, innovative and flexible methods are to be introduced to accommodate new concepts for the changing requirements and environment. Hence the concern for librarians of these days should be to redefine the role of school Libraries in reaching out the right information to the right user at a right time with objectives:

To provide an opportunity to all School Library professionals to explore the ways and means to manage the libraries in making them relevant for school education;To explore the means of using digital media resources which are making inroads and school libraries are also changing with times· To explore the reading influence ( story telling) on the nascent learners for building verbal proficiencies; To explore, discuss and share ideas and knowledge related to innovative practices used in schools libraries with new digital techniques;To explore the capabilities to meet the needs of the changing environment (Learning space and designs).To sum up and come up with all new trends and approaches in form of Literature useful for all school libraries and Librarians.
