SPAMMERS WILL BE PUNISHED SEVERELY~

esp YOUUUUUUUUUUUUU, Foo Wei Ming from 2A, & Jian Hong .. last chance le.

you have been warned.

& first library meeting of the year was today ;D
welcome to all the new Sec1 members, & also those from other levels (:
i think we have about fourteen new Sec1s .. ?
not bad ..

all librarians must inform myself, Nazihah, Yvonne, Joel or Mrs Lim of the duty days they will be doing, i.e. the days they will report for their duty hours.
& also, choose a committee to be on ..
1) Decorations - not only CNY, have Total Defence, Friendship Day, etc ..
2) Book club. Not sure about this. But please join ~ i think we're kinda lacking in members on that side now. Ask Miss Michelle Chang for more details.

KINDLY MAKE A CHOICE!! don't just put 'anything' or 'random', then complain when you're slotted into something you don't wanna do.

today's duty hours we will be giving two each on default.

do spread the word of the library blog to as many library members as possible. and as stated before, if you spam the library tagboard & we find out who you are ......

- Xinying

2009-01-04T20:39:00.000+08:00

so sorry for the long delay in updating~
Happy 2009 to all librarians xD

a common topic of discussion on the tagboard seems to be that the library is lacking in members.
actually, us Sec 4s will be leaving the library after Term 1 to better concentrate on our O Levels, which will supposedly leave the library club with a much smaller member count.
To improve things, maybe we could try & think up more activities, etc for library club members, then maybe we can attract more of the new Sec 1 students to join.
but there is no point in having librarians who do not work and whose three duty hours a week are just spent playing games.
not many may be willing to keep working at the library, since its quite a thankless task and there's always manual and (relatively) boring work such as shelving to be done.
so yeah, thus the more activities for librarians idea.
any suggestions?

We will also be choosing the new library exco soon, before us Sec 4s step down xD
any nominations? nominate yourself also can. HAHA (:

recently, Miss Michelle Chang has made trips to Borders and Kinokuniya, & come back with A LOT of new books (:
but there is also a lot of work involved before the new books can go on the shelves, so please be patient, & drop by to give Mrs Lim a hand whenever you're free.
librarians get first dibs on the books too! :D

i think that's all.
i THINK there's a library meeting on Friday.
i'll confirm with Mrs Lim.

takecare :D

Hey librarians..

Stocktaking is done but we've got one more thing to do. As the upcoming open house is coming soon on 21 November 2008, we've to do some preparations and decorations for it. So if you are free anytime next week or the following week, please do help out in the library on decorations in the library. Kindly bring some colouring materials for the decorations. Decorations like posters etc. Also can include glitters hehe if you have. See you.

Thank You.

every single library item has been scanned and reshelved properly already (:
but that doesn't mean skipping the remaining three days of stocktaking left .. tmr it'll still be okay for librarians to enter regardless of the SEA ceremony in the evening.
Mrs Pauline Lim has said that there'll be a man in to teach us how to bookwrap .. she says its a free service, so we're not sure when the man will arrive.
also, we have to get started on Open House preparations, so those who can turn up please do :D
those who are lucky enough to be able to attend the SEA ceremony are excused ;D

for those who are unsure, yes, stocktaking hours are from 8.30am to 4.30pm every weekday from 3rd Nov to 11th Nov, as Nazihah has clarified on the tagboard.

first day of stocktaking was today!
the reference, part of the non-fiction, and the Chinese section had been scanned and stocktaked, in one single day!
thank you to all those who turned up and helped out today (:
tmr it'll start all over again.

2008-10-31T18:41:00.000+08:00

hey all WSSS Librarians; Xinying here (:

Nazihah set up this blog as a means to better communicate with y'all.
yeapps, so do hope you will check frequently for any updates or announcements.
please leave tags too, yeah? (:

For those who have not received Nazihah's mass sms to all librarians;

Please remember that whenever you are free from the 3rd Nov to 11th Nov (not including weekends) do try and drop by the library to help with the stocktaking of books in preparation for the Open House on 21st Nov. Also, those who want to bring non-librarian friends along to help, you are free to do so (: but do remember to give Miss Michelle Chang their names, so they can be given CIP hours & credited for their contribution.

Joel has also announced that this year's library camp will be cancelled due to time constraints. so sorry .. maybe next year? (:

that's all .. do remember to turn up and help as much as possible with the stocktake! (:
every librarian's contribution means something.
