Have you ever thought about how magical one’s words could be? If you could take someone to a whole another universe, with your words, what is more magical than that?!. A book can do wonders to your thoughts, emotions and inspire you in a way that no individual could. 

Libraries in schools are the first world of magic every child enters into. At first it becomes a rule, later it becomes a habit and then further later it becomes your passion. Your school libraries become your Hogwarts and then it becomes your land of magic and exploration, where every character you meet every story that you read would build a power of its own on you. It gives you different perspectives and thoughts on certain topics and themes and widens your horizon of imagination. 

Anyone can travel to the land of magic, mystery and fun within no time and effort, but a little patience and interest. It is sad that with the evolution of digitalization, there has been fewer people who are into reading the traditional way, and libraries have lost their charm without its adverse readers. Books contain within themselves wisdom, knowledge, information and have the power to take you to a little economical journey, that of your mind. It is often heard that art imitates life, but books can reflect it. Any decision you take, any opinions you make, could be your reflection of knowledge and it speaks volumes about how many books you have read and what had inspired you from it.
