CE's Farewell GIft

Dr. Varaprasad has stepped down as our Chief Executive and the PLSG division threw a farewell party for him.

Each region was to present a gift and so, on behalf of Eastern, 3 of us (coincidentally all from TRL!) came up with this special photo-frame.

We collected Branch pics from the 6 ER libraries. I helped with some of the leaves (my quilling skills are very bad) and did some photoshop magic on the pics to make them nicer. The rest of the flowers were done by the other 2 in the group. Nice eh? :)

Book Exchange: 25 April 2010 @ NL

I helped out on two days, the pre-BE and on the actual day. I'm tasked to be a Screener so my role was to unpack the numerous ... numerous.. numerous amount of boxes and placed the books in their respective bins. i.e Adult Chinese Fiction, Children English Non-Fiction etc

The job was tiring and back-breaking but it was fun working with a crazy bunch of ER J libs. It made the time past faster!


TRL + SKPL


Look at the happy GEPL one


SKPL + ex-MPPL + TRL


Whee! We ♥ book exchange!

TRL + ex-TRL

I had multiple roles on the actual day (we had to wear our official Tee). We had to keep opening new boxes to replenish the bins so it was non-stop pushing of trolleys. Some patrons needed help with directions and toward the end, I helped out at the counters; retrieving the coupons and packing the books for the customers.

It was a fruitful experience! This was my first Book Exchange and even though the work was tough, we had a very good crowd and it's a great give-back for the public.

Recycle, baby!

Storytelling @ Pri School : a typical scene

As a value-added service, librarians do get invited by their schools (under their respective account) for story-telling sessions.

Usually, I will go during the recess hours and the age-group is more specific. I'll prepare the necessary materials beforehand; books, tokens for quizzes, bookmarks to be given out freely.

So the session is only half an hour but most of the time, I am requested to do 2-3 sessions on the same day to cater to the different primary levels.

In this picture, I was covering for a fellow J lib @ Fengshan Primary. Had a pretty neat visualiser to help me along.

Let me tell you a story


Rawr-pow-bang-bang!
(It was the book 'The Great Monster Hunt')


Guess the monster!

The kids are usually very responsive and fun to talk to. I always get a chatty bunch for my classes. And did I mention they adore bookmarks?

Anchor Green's Snazzy Library

Of all the school libraries that I had the opportunity to go to, this has to be the loveliest ever. It befits the theme (the teacher said Anchor Green is rather marine-themed) and a lot of thought has been put into the design.

There's a BOAT with a raised wooden pier for the kids to sit and read their books. Adorning the sidewall is a mock lighthouse.

By gosh, I really ♥ this library. It's pleasant, friendly and definitely kid-friendly. That's how it attracts the crowd, I say.

How can you not love this??
