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...
STEAM Picture Books for children
Are you looking for STEAM focused books for young children? I have compiled the titles that are available in my library. Definitely getting some more.
I am compiling chapter books as well since STEAM (UK version of STEM) is the school's focus at the moment.
Library Week
My library is celebrating Library Week this September in accordance of International School Library Week of IAASL. This year, I adopted the theme of School Libraries Transform Learning from AASL.
Book Club
Are you looking for a book club based in Asia? I just ran one as one of our activities in celebration of World Book Week. This kind of activity is quite popular in UK based schools because it is easier if most publishers are your neighbors, right? But do not fret, we can now enjoy the same activity in Asia through this new online bookstore A Bookstore Asia.
Normally, prices are in USD but you can request for the local currency to make it more inviting to parents. What I like about it, just giving them 5 orders, you get all the books in the catalog we distributed for free. I actually received some of our free books.
Oh by the way, they will ship the books straight to your student's home address.
Offering free shipping in Asia, this could be the new Amazon of Asia.
