Developing Lifelong Learning Habits through School Libraries: The Role of Activity-Based Learning in Fostering Curiosity and Continuous Learning beyond the Classroom

Abstract: This paper explores the role of school libraries, particularly in government schools, in fostering lifelong learning habits by integrating unconventional, activity-based learning approaches. It examines how various activities, such as creative writing, storytelling, plays, and educational games, can cultivate students' interest in learning and promote broader educational goals, such as environmental awareness, critical thinking, and developing applicative skills. The study adopts a qualitative approach to explore how these library programs can impact students from an early age, starting in class nursery, and help nurture lifelong learning habits that extend beyond the classroom environment. Keywords: Learning habits, interactive learning, reading habit, fostering curiosity, role of libraries.
