The project follows a timetable so that all students can access the digital library. The students from grade 1 to 5, have their digital classes, once a week, wherein each student is given a tab, and they are given a chance to operate the tablets themselves. The content on the tab is as per the age and grade curriculum of the school. Since the project inception, the students are immensely engaged in the activities, and have shared their desire for more time at the library.
