Abstract

Reading is a basic life skill needed by an individual throughout one’s life. Recognizing the importance of  reading and the decline in reading culture this study aims to find out the reading habits among the  students newly admitted at SP College Shorapur Yadagir Karnataka. The study shows that students  spend more time on social networking sites rather than reading. The research focuses on how the public  libraries of Karnataka can aid in inculcating the reading habits among children at the school level and how  technology can be incorporated to make reading more pleasurable.
