Hmmm... you wonder what is that, huh?

Well, the term was new to me too. For those of you who roam around Orchard a lot, would know that Library Orchard is closing down. (Hicks ... I know, I know. It is sad. It mean a lot to me.) And to commemorate this closure, they are asking bloggers to be their official Citizen Reporters - blog anything about the Library @ Orchard from opinions, photos and videos. So, if anyone of you who are interested, pls refer to further details here.

I went to the brief "briefing" yesterday. Call me outdated but isn't the typical stereotype of librarians are elderly individuals, stern looking with thick glasses and walked slowly?? (Hmm.... those are the days of my high school.) Jilian and Ivan really snapped me into reality! I actually thought the briefing would be formal and boring, where I would yawn and tried to sneak away. But boy, was I wrong! These people are not only fun and friendly but also professional and efficient. The briefing was short and sweet, clear and concise. No rambling whatsoever, (even though one of the host is known as Rambling Librarians, ehem!). I actually had fun!

Blw are some pics that I snapped during the briefing. Noticed those small white stickers? An indication of which item going to which library in Singapore. Ain't they organized?














On the way home, I pondered, how many lives would be affected/influenced with the closure of the library at Orchard? I know mine would.
