There is no greater joy than holding a book in your hands and flipping through its pages. We all remember the time when we were children and visited the school library for the first time with our classmates, and were left wonderstruck. One such wholesome video has surfaced on Twitter, showing a group of little students in Karnataka's Bagalkote visiting a rural library for the first time.
Twitter user Uma Mahadevan-Dasgupta posted the video on her personal handle and captioned it as, "Little anganwadi kids on their first visit to the rural library! Video shared by Vimala, PDO Girisagar, Bagalkote.''

In the video, Anganwadi children dressed in school uniforms are seen entering a library one by one. They then take seats on the chairs and excitedly flip through the books, as two teachers supervise them.
In a reply to her own tweet, Mrs. Uma added another video, showing the kids holding the books in their hands and reading with curiosity. In the caption, she wrote, "Learning to hold books in their hands. Many of them are first-generation learners.'' A third picture shows kids looking into the camera and flashing adorable smiles.
So happy! #kidsinlibraries pic.twitter.com/AWUWDAA3QT
