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.
