While the efforts made by the madrasah for the use of the library by teachers and students are the movement of reading 15 minutes before learning or during breaks in the library, distributing a collection of library books in every reading corner in the class, giving rewards to students who frequently visit the library, inviting students to visit Other libraries, film screenings in the library and holding collection display cabinets in the school grounds.
