Two things could help:

1) keep a PC for the students to search for books themselves using OPAC. The activity is very exciting as they can search out  books themselves through the keywords, topics, author. They can read articles online, read books online. The overall experience gives them a feel of a tech-savy library. 

2) Keep a large LCD display on a wall where the cover page/ other images of new books, popular books, etc.is displayed. This moving screen will catch their attention and raise the level of curiosity.  Books placed in closed shelves are not attractive- you will have to lead the students to the books. 

From my experience in Libraries of so many schools, students wait for the library period if they can have an interactive session.
