Hidden Gem in History

My formal visit to the library turned out to be an eye-opening and engaging experience. The very moment I stepped into the Reference Room, I was surprised by the variety of primary sources and history textbooks available from Class 7 all the way up to Class 12. This collection offered a wide range of resources to better understand historical events and their contexts.

It felt like a little adventure. To find the books related to history, we had to head over to the history section, which started from the number 900. The arrangement led us on a winding path almost like following a snake position. Despite the library being well organized, it was a bit confusing at times. Thankfully, the librarian was there to guide us, and owing to this, the visit to the library was a fun and interactive journey. In this journey I also learned that reference books can’t be borrowed from the library, which I didn't know before.

What truly surprised me was a corner filled with old newspapers and government documents. It seemed like a forgotten section, rarely visited by others, yet it held a treasure filled information just waiting to be explored. Discovering that hidden gem given rise to curiosity in me and gave me valuable resources to continue my exploration of history.
