DEAR God



I remember the times when the library forbade anyone carrying bags to enter it- forcing them to keep them in the lockers. I remember the library which prohibited unformal footwear like sandals in it's premises. I remember the library whose only mode of payment is using the cash card.

Now, you can pay via cashcard, nets or EZlink. Now, even slippers and bags are allowed. And this holiday season, the NLB ups it's hip image by doubling the number of books that can be borrowed to 8. Dubbed opertaion Drop Everything And Read (DEAR) , it lasts from 1 Nov 05 to 31 Jan 06.

I wish I could tell you that's all but the fact is, there's more.

The library has recently just started a book blog .

Yes, you. We want your opinions. We want to hear you out. We want what you can offer us, the giork in your grey matter or just your time to trawl the Internet.

But wait. Quick quiz:
. What’s the meaning of the word ‘propitiation’?
. What’s the difference between a jibe and a gibe?
. What’s the difference between a pandemic and epidemic?
. What the formula for the Cosine Rule?
. What’s the correct usage of the word ‘supercalifragilisticexpialidocious’?

You need to get at least one question wrong before you can join us.

High Browse Online is a interactive webpage where the public - like you and me- can submit reviews. All you have to do is sign up and join the HB squad.

Going to the library has never been this cool.
