Volunteering at the library

To chiong my CIP hours (somehow it wasn't enough) , I had to find means of generating CIP hours. And so I turned to the (NLB) libraries, since I had done CIP in the library before.

But this time it was a different experience. Previously I had done the shelfing of books at WRL (Woodlands Regional Library) and I had enjoyed the leisure of roaming around the library to put the returned books in their proper place. This time though, I was more confined. Behind the counter, to be more specific.

I had went to the library at Sembawang since there weren't any free slots at WRL. Being behind the counter, it was a refreshing experience, since this was my first time. Apart from giving out tokens (which is quite complex a matter since there were many different tokens) , I could (occassionally) rest at the counter and see how the librarians (especially the counter staff) go about their work. Of course, when I'm not giving out tokens, I sometimes people-watch; it's quite interesting to see the many different types of people that come to the library.

It's getting a tad bit long. Maybe I shall continue this for my EW ...
