Dear Sri M. Karthick Kumar,

It is nice to learn that your school has allowed you to celebrate Subject Weeks and one allocated to the field of Library Science.
Ms Archana Yadav's suggestion is very meaningful.
You can plan fr a historical discourse on Library Movement in India and the world. The Internet will give you ample information. Start from the inscriptions on Clay tablets, Papyrus stems to Palm leave manuscripts in India. Don't worry there are images in the net..
Make short notes on Small boxes on arrangement of materials in those Libraries

Then discuss about papers and Printing Press and the unique transformations. You will get images of B/W & Cipia photographs from the NYPL site.
Next come to India as a context. images of Old National Library and old pictures of important libraries of India are all available in the Net.
Discuss about Library Movements in India
Describe about information explosion, Describe about Books, Monographs, Treaties, Serials and periodicals
Discuss about Computer applications, Hollerith Cards, Floppy discs, Magnetic Tapes, CDs & DVDs to Pen Drives, as storage devices.

Discuss cyber Media, Mobile applications but keep focused on Libraries
That's all.

Hope the tips may be of help to you.

Sincerely,

Siddhartha S. Ray
