| Books are arranged on shelves in a scientific and logical manner according to subject and field, with specific directions, helping students quickly access materials suitable to their needs. The ability for students to directly explore, search, and select materials not only creates a comfortable atmosphere, fosters initiative and positive engagement, and enhances information-seeking skills, but also creates opportunities for them to develop a reading habit. Reading will help them cultivate knowledge and improve their listening, reading, and writing skills. Photo: Duc Anh |
