देवी अहिल्या यूनिवर्सिटी की सेंट्रल लाइब्रेरी और स्कूल ऑफ़ लाइब्रेरी साइंस ने मंगलवार को लाइब्रेरी डे मनाया। लाइब्रेरी साइंस के पिता कहे जाने वाले डॉ S.R. रंगनाथन के ११६वे जन्मदिन मोके पर यह आयोजन हुआ। इस मोके पर दिनभर चली विभिन्य स्पर्धायो में लाइब्रेरी साइंस के स्टूडेंट्स ने हिस्सेदारी की। कार्यक्रम की शुरुआत स्कूल ऑफ़ इलेक्ट्रॉनिक के हेड डॉ सुमंत कटियाल के मुख्य आतिथ्य में हुई। उन्होंने लाइब्रेरी में माडर्न टेक्नोलॉजी को अपनाने का संदेश दिया। दिनभर चले प्रोग्राम का समापन आईआईएम इंदौर के लिब्ररियन किशोरचंद्र सत्पथी की मोजुदगी में हुआ। उन्होंने इंदौर शहर की बेहतरी की लिए आधुनिक और अच्छे लाइब्रेरी तंत्र की आवश्यकता को जरुरी बताया। सिंगापूर का उदाहरण देते हुए उन्होंने कहा की वहां तमाम आयोजन लाइब्रेरी में होते है। हर मॉल में एक लाइब्रेरी होती है और हर नागरिक के जिंदगी में लाइब्रेरी की महत्पूर्ण भूमिका होती है। हमें भी उसी दिशा में काम करने की जरुरत है।
