Introduction:
           The Archdioccsan library is kept at the top floor of 
the building and it contains very valuable books along with books
and articles given to the Archdiocese by the retired priests.
The place has not been maintained very well to the ruin of some
of the valuable documents. It has also become pretty hard to find
some valuable books for reference. Hence this project is to 
renovate the library with the following objectives

Objectives:

   1. Remove all the duplicate copies of the books and articles
   2. Remove books which are highly outdated or which are no
      value for the  present of for the future
   3. Place the books on a coordinated fashion
   4. Create an atmosphere for reading with some sofas and work
       places
   5. Create a reference section with books which could not be
      given outside
   6. Creating a lending polices for books and other materials
   7. Create a data base on the computer with all the available
      books
   8. Create an atmosphere whereby priests will be able to come
       and use the  Library
   9. Create a mini library downstairs with latest books to
      introduce the priests to a   habit of reading
  10. Introduce the young priests to the habit of using the
       library on an ongoing  basis

Action Plan:

 1.1 It will be very important to take a stock of
     the books and articles available so that the duplicate
     ones can be  removed of given away  

 1.2 Minor Seminary or other institutions will be able to
     make use of the duplicate copies of some of the books
     and articles

 1.3 Removing the most damaged books and articles unless
     they can be saved
 2.1 Sometimes priests have donated all their books to the
     Library and some of them are not highly useful for
     future reference or for reading. Those materials can
     be removed from the librarv after careful consideration.
2.2  Some of the books were relevant when they were published
     and must have lost their value by the present time. 
     They too can be removed from the shelf Some of the
     publications are not useful for either reference or for
     reading. "1 hey too can be removed from the shelf and can
     be donated or destroyed.

3.1 Some engineering and carpentry assistance have to be sought
    to find the best way to design the place in such
    a way that the books can be placed in an attractive fashion
3.2 Some methodology will have to be followed so that the books
    can be easily traced and used.
4.1 Priests can come and spend a few moments in going through
    some reference and hence some sofas should be  provided for
    them to sit and read a book
4.2 Some may want to do research and hence work stations should
    be provided for hem to spend a long duration of time

5.1 Every library has a reference section with books, which
    cannot be given outside.This will be placed in a  different
    shelf and users should return them after their use in the
    Library.
5.2 If some reference section can be photocopied, they should 
    ^pthat in the Curia.

6.1 Library must have a lending policy of its books and 
    articles. Books can be returned even when the Library is
    closed and some penalty should be put in place for those
    who are returning the books with undue delay.
6.2 Lending policies must be designed in such a way to encourage
     the maximum number of users for our library

7.1 Library must have a computer system and all the available
    books should be entered there and properly  numbered so that
    they can be easily traced. This will remain the heart of the
    work and eareful attention must  be placed to enter the data
    carefully and properly.
7.2 Expert advise have to be sought in this regard our system
    is scientific and user friendly.

8.1 Whatever publicity can be given should be given so that
     priesls will come and use he Library. Since we are at
     the heart of the town, it will also useful to our lay
     people who are doing different courses at the Renewal   
     centre. It should be promoted and should be seen as a
     service given by the Archdiocese to the society
8.2  Our missam, Sathyadeepam etc can be our media for letting
     people know about the existence of such library.

9.1  A mini library can be set up downstairs to wet the appetite
     of the readers who come to the Archbishop's  house.It could
     include new publications and forthcoming releases.
     It will encourage them to come and use the  Library

10.1 One of the main thrusts remains to introduce our young
     priests to the habit of eading good publications and 
     thereby strengthen the proclamation of the word. In this
     regard, they should be given proper direction asto       
     how to use theLibrary.
10.2 Silence is part and parcel of a library and should be
     strictly maintained Any person who comes to use the   
     Library should not carry any articles or baggage to the
     Library.
10.3 There should be an assistant who will be helping those who
      come to the Library
