Library Science graduates face unemployment as schools rely on teachers
As another National Reading Day approaches, nearly all government schools in Kerala continue to face a persistent institutional gap—the absence of dedicated librarians.According to reports, librarian posts remain completely vacant throughout State-run and aided institutions.
