Be Our Facebook Friend!

Hi everyone!

We've received word that some of you find it "lehcheh" (inconvenient) to join our Facebook Group/Fan Page because it's something that you won't check often, and so, you have requested that we create a Facebook ID and you can be our friend.

So, we've done that! Search Pelangi Pride Centre and you'll see us.

Looking forward to be "friends"!

Take care!

Borrow Books on Sat 19 Dec and get them till 9 Jan!

Hi everyone

If you borrow books on Sat 19 Dec, you will get to keep them till 9 Jan! This is because we will be taking a break on 26 Dec and 2 Jan, so you get a "free" extension!

Grab your books on Sat 19 Dec! We will be open from 4-8pm.

Cheers and Happy Holidays!

Your time commitment: A Saturday a Month, from 3:30-8pm at PPC@DYMK (9 Kreta Ayer Rd)

Don't worry, training will be provided and you will always be paired with a "veteran" volunteer so there's plenty of available help if you're new to all of
this!

Your FAQs answered :)

Hi all

Thanks to everyone who has popped by PPC@DYMK the last 2 Saturdays to hang out and chill with us :) We are also glad that there have been new users of the library, we hope you have a good time exploring our collection!

To address some of your FAQs:

1) Does PPC loan books out?
YES! We do :) Just pass us your details and a $10 book deposit (you can take 2 books out for 2 weeks - so that's $20 book deposit) and when you return the books in 2 weeks time, we return you your $20 (in short, it's free if you return the books, PLEASE return the books so that our collection doesn't deplete!)

2) What if I return my books late?
Just a $2 fine (per book) for each week you are late. We use the funds to purchase plastic wrap, labels and to patch books. No, it doesn't come into our pockets!

3) Where can I find your library catalogue?
Visit http://pelangipridecentre.org/library/opac/ to navigate our library catalogue (yes just like a "regular" library).

4) What are PPC's operating hours?
Saturdays, 4-8pm, we would love to open during other hours but being volunteer- run it's hard to get the manpower to staff the library during the week.

5) How can I help?
Donate $ to help with the running of PPC, we take any amount of $! The $ will be used to purchase new books as well as to offset our operating costs such as patching books, upgrading our computer system and so on, we are also always on the lookout for volunteers so if you can spare a Saturday a month, please let us know!

6) How can I contact PPC?
Email us at pelangipridecentre@yahoo.com

Take care everyone and see you on the 20th!
