If you happen to work at or near Chevron House at 30 Raffles Place, do drop by the Public Library booth.
You can borrow books on the spot, join as a NLB library member (or Digital Library members to access eResources), sign up for e-Reminder services, return your books there even.
Parents can pick up Children's books. Adults will find titles from subjects like Business and Finance, Travel, Fiction etc.
Selected Audio Book titles are also available.
To keep things interesting, there are prizes to be won.
It's part of the public library's effort to promote reading and the use of public library resources to working adults at the Raffles Place area.
The 3-day roadshow is from 30 Mar to 1 Apr 09.
That's a nice campaign to get more members and readers.
ReplyDeleteCool! So where's the next location? Jurong Island? Just kidding.
ReplyDeleteA roadshow to showcase the library services and activities of the Public Libraries Singapore?
ReplyDeleteThe PLS is very "happening" these days (a GenX lingo I borrowed from my son : )
During my time, the mobile library with books in a van which visit schools and villages in the rural areas of Singapore was considered an innovative concept for the library to reach the village folks.
Now we have "Books In The City: Public Libraries Roadshow"......providing on-the-spot registration for new members and access to eResources. WOW !!!
Lots of creative 'ideas people' at the public libraries to promote library awareness to the public with these events.
At the "50 Plus Expo 2008" at Suntec City last year, NLB also had a booth stacked with a special selection of books for senior citizens.
Like they say..."If the mountain does not come to Mohammed, Mohammed goes to the mountain"...
Great job! Please keep it up.
