Aking Silid Aklatan

Silid Aklatan is a Tagalog word for Library.According to Oxford dictionary, 'it is a place where books are kept for safekeeping to use or borrow'.It is more than a place to keep and borrow books,it is more than an airconditioned place.As I always say,we,librarians do more than just buying and shelving books.I will share as much as I can the ins and outs of my library displays,activities and many more..feel free to drop a comment.It's a NO RIGHT NO WRONG rule, message me away...

My new library..presenting BIS...

I'm sorry I can't mention the name of my new school yet, BOD must approve it first so let's just call it BIS.

This huge space is my new library. The school had the library and its furniture designed by an architect. Im excited to fill this space with more colors to cut the monotonous color of black and white and be a wonderful place for my students.

This is when the school dressed the library up for the Parent's Orientation..it became a ballroom venue!!!

This is the new look of it...

And this is my Halloween display for this(2010) year entitled "Escape with a good CREEPY BOOK". The mobile displays aren't visible so much because of the light. while the book display is quite far from this display. During our PTC, some parents used it as their backdrop for their children's pictures. Feel so proud!!!
