Faces of LAS Council

Ms Soh Lin Li
President

I am a firm believer of how reading impacts everyone’s life and the importance of logical thinking. I am a lifetime weight looser as I love to eat and drink.

The President of LAS takes care of everything in the Association! Key objectives are to build a Strong and United library field in Singapore and promote the library profession.

A computer engineer by training, libraries was where I found my true purpose in life, my calling. I switched career in my 40’s and I am truly grateful to the beautiful experiences and people I have encountered as a result.

I am a Senior Librarian with the National Library, Singapore and currently serve as the Honorary Treasurer of the Library Association of Singapore. I began my career in the public libraries before transitioning to the International Partnership team, and eventually landing in my current role that oversees the Singapore and Southeast Asia collections.

The Honorary Treasurer handles almost all money matters for LAS. I am responsible for managing the Association’s bank account and maintaining up-to-date, accurate financial records. The other tasks that I undertake include facilitating the audit process by providing the necessary documentation to the auditor and working with our accountant to ensure that the association adheres to the relevant tax regulations and filing requirements.
