February 2013 Update

Hi all,

I hope the first month of the new year finds you well and you probably have started some new initiatives or are planning for some since budget planning should be turning up soon for some of you.

Just a quick catch up – ISEAS library had appointed Mr. Pitt Kuan Wah to be its Head of Library with effect from 1st Jan 2013. He replaced Ms. Zaleha Tamby who was the previous Head of Library. Congratulations and best wishes to Mr. Pitt for his new posting!

Also close to the end of January, LAS held its new year bash and around 60-odd LAS members turned up at the National Museum of Singapore’s Salon Room for the gathering. We had a wonderful time – I will try and bug our programming team for a report and some pictures soon – please watch out for that.

Of course the month of February 2013 is likely to be a busy period for our Chinese members whom are likely pre-occupied with the Chinese New Year festivities. A very happy new Chinese New Year to all whom will be celebrating this occassion! May the Golden Snake brings abundant opportunities to grow and prosper for one and all!

For those of you watching out for the SJLIM issue of 2012 – please be assured we are trying our best to get it ready (we hope to publish before the month is out) – please take note we are no longer printing physical copies of the SJLIM – I will announce it once its ready and put up on our LAS website/pages!

In the meantime….. Shhhhh!!!!! (yeah, a poor rendition of the snake I know, but it does remind us of our past practice of requesting for silence in our reading spaces 😉 )
