Parent Volunteers needed at the Chinese Pictorial Book Corner (绘本馆) in the library

Parent Volunteers Needed!
Chinese Pictorial Book Corner of NYPS has finally finished its STOCK-TAKING!
From next week onwards, all Parent Volunteers of CL pictorial book corner and teachers of NYPS are allowed to borrow the pictorial books out of the library. We have about 1000 Pictorial Books in the library and another 300 new books coming in 2 weeks later. We always update the corner with new books freshly imported in from countries such as China and Taiwan.
*NOTE: Only Parents who are helping out at the Pictorial Book Corner are allowed to borrow the books out of the library.
The pupils are still unable to borrow the books out of the library as the books are still relatively new and expensive. We may look into the probability of enabling the pupils to borrow these books out of the library from next year onwards when we managed to find parent volunteers who can help out with the administrative work.
Currently, we need 1-2 Parent Volunteer who can help us facilitate the borrowing and returning of CL Pictorial books in and out of the library. With your help, the pupils can therefore borrow and return the books in and out of the library.
Although we have a librarian in the library, she is unable to help out as her job scope does not require her to handle matters of the CL Pictorial Book Corner. The books from the CL Pictorial Book Corner are also not recorded into the library system.
Therefore, we would like to appeal for Parent Volunteers who are willing to help out as a librarian of the library, and facilitate the borrowing and returning of Pictorial Books. Your job is to help take down names and contact numbers of those who came to borrow/return Pictorial Books and remind them of the date of return. Also, you may have to track down the people who have forgotten to return the books before the deadline.
Working time is flexible. You may report to the library at 8.30am and leave at 12pm sharp from Monday-Friday. If we manage to find more parent volunteers, we may look into staggering your schedule so that you may not have to report to the library 5 days a week.
There is no requirement for you to speak fluent mandarin.
If you are interested to be part of us, please kindly email me at lim_ke_xin@nyps.edu.sg or call me in school to find out more. You may also go to CL Pictorial Blog: http://www.nypshbg.blogspot.com/ to find out more.

Looking forward to your kind support :)
Cheers,
