A very happy new year to one and all!

2013 promises to be a fruitful and busy year for all of us at LAS – so be sure to stay tune and participate in the up-coming activities.   This is of course the year we bring IFLA WLIC to Singapore – that will be coming up in August but we know a lot of you have volunteered to help out in the various projects that would enable us to make the event successful and memorable for everyone.  Thanks!

In January itself, you can look forward to the call by our Program committee for the annual gathering of LAS members – we heard that it would be a very different venue from our regular sessions.  So please keep a watch out for the announcement for registration!

Also LAS will have its election year for the next LAS Council – that would be coming up at our AGM happening around May 2013 this year – that is also something for us to look forward to.

Please keep your 100-word stories coming in to the Publications Committee – yes, we plan to present a slice of the lives of our librarians to our friends whom would be visiting us for the WLIC2013 – to all those who have contributed a big THANK YOU for your support, for those who are still deliberating over this – please send in your drafts!  Our team can quickly turn-it-around and help you complete your stories very efficiently  (our average record stands at around 2 emails or so to settle your stories).

To round off – here’s an economical idea for your library material presentation:

The material is actually a Napkin Dispenser – but one library had made use of it for its book display – the cost of the plastic unit?  Around $2.90 – compared to other plastic display holders this price might be worth considering for your library.
