Exploring poetry at Schoolkutti.com Children’s Library

Blog post by Aswathy Karnaver

The poetry workshop at Schoolkutti Children’s Library turned out to be an exciting journey of discovery for the young participants. On the guided tour with poet Soni Somarajan, they started out with crafting one-line poems from own names and went ahead to explore the fascinating world of poetry through DIY sessions, readings and interaction.

And there was no stopping them, once ideas and words took wings. Shape poems were born round the outlines of fruit, ice cream, balloon and what not! An inspired little poet penned a bold line exhorting peace between nations. It led to a discussion on the power of poetry and the story behind a little poem that inspired many a heart- We Shall Overcome – and before long the class joined in a chorus.

The aspiring poets all vowed to start their poetry journal and promised to call up Uncle Poet to read out their latest entries. And sure enough, a little girl rushed back in to show her new poem, inspired by the rain that had started to fall as she waited for her mother to pick her up.

‘A Dream Come True’ Library…

20140607_164234

I have always been interested in books and libraries. My parents were quite encouraging and used to buy story books in Malayalam for us to read. My sister was the one who introduced me to books in English, she was a voracious reader and our house was always filled with books. We were fortunate enough to live quite close to the Public Library, which had a good collection of children’s books. One of my earliest memories is selecting colorful picture books from the lower shelves of the children’s section at the public library. It was always exciting to be able to choose any book we wanted and take it home, with our own membership card. Some books were favorites and rereading them again and again was a real pleasure.

Right from my school days, I used to wonder how nice to would be to have a library of my own. But that was a distant dream then. Serious thought was given to this only when I gathered a decent collection of books for my son. I was reading to him right from the time he was a newborn. We had a regular reading routine and I used to research a lot to choose the right books for him. Even though we were regular visitors to the Public Library and the Eloor Lending Library, I ended up buying a lot of books when I could not find them in the library shelves. Also, I could not find any place in Trivandrum offering fun activities on weekends, storytelling or reading workshops for kids. I felt that Trivandrum was lacking in two main areas – a website that acts as a complete guide to what’s happening in your city for children and of course, a good children’s library. Along with a few like minded friends, I started the website schoolkutti.com for the parents and children of Trivandrum. The next step was to set up the children’s library. We purchased popular books from Flipkart and Amazon to add to my collection, as well as from some Bangalore based stores. After about an year, we started the library with around 2500 new books in my parental home at Vellayambalam that was rented out earlier.

Today we have more than 3000 books including fiction and facts for children of all ages in our schoolkutti.com Children’s Library. Events like storytelling, personality development and poetry workshops and so on are conducted regularly with the aim of promoting a love of books, confidence and literacy skills in children.

Libraries are definitely great ways to inspire, empower and delight children. It is unfortunate that very few schools and parents actually encourage reading for pleasure. Our dream is to build an extensive collection of outstanding children’s books from around the world that can provide children an opportunity to know and appreciate diverse cultures and good literature.

Story fun @Schoolkutti.com Children’s library

What a Super Duper Sunday at Schoolkutti.com Children’s library! Kids had so much fun playing games and listening to exciting stories told by Susan Mathew from Friends Playschool and Kindergarten. Susan made it more exciting for the little ones by adding puppets and special sound effects. Every child got the chance to play different characters in the story. After a joyful time filled with squeals of delight and roars of laughter, the children left with their own version of a tale to tell.
