The learning resource centre
|
I have been working at Vision College since
2010. When I was in the
secondary school, I always took the opportunity to be a librarian. To me, being a librarian means a lot to me. It is a profession that I am always proud of because there is nothing better than helping the students to find something that they really need, and seeing the relief and gratitude on their face once I've helped them find it.
When I first started working here, 'tranquillity' is the word that I can think of to describe the learning resource centre. However, the centre is now packed with students during breaks between classes. The basic library facilities such as ample spaces with tables and chairs for an enhanced reading pleasure, computers for the Internet-savvy students, lockers and a prayer room are to boost up the learning environment in the college.

Every year, various changes are done to enhance the appearance of the centre. This year alone, the centre has undergone a few major transformations by adding extra bookshelves to accommodate the increased volume of books, lockers to meet the needs of students and also a new prayer room in the centre.

The new student
lounge has the same size as the library, with floor covered with thick carpet of a bright blue cloudless sky colour. It is equipped with a LED television and a comfortable couch. The lounge is installed to serve the purpose of creating a space where students can come together to interact, gather and chill out. Apart from that, it also comes with a range of sports and recreational activities such as table tennis. Students are now looking forward to the official opening of the students lounge.

Ample spaces for students to chill out
I love this quote by Bathurst about his perception on what a library is.
'The great untold truth of libraries is that people need them not because they're about study and solitude, but because they're about connection'
