Biblioteek gereorganiseer

John Stephens

Graham Southey en John Stepehns

Daar is ‘n begin gemaak om die tak se biblioteek te reorganiseer sodat alles meer toeganklik vir ons lede sal wees.

Nou lê daar werk voor om die boeke genommer te kry. Daarna moet ook die ander items soos DVD’s, CD’s, items wat nog by ander lede is, ook hier geliasseer word.

‘n Behoorlike inventaris moet opgestel word sodat die hele biblioteek-inhoud verseker kan word.

Die boekkaste is op rollers geplaas sodat dit op vergaderingdae net in die gang ingestoot kan word sodat dit vir almal baie makliker sal wees om by die boeke uit te kom. Na die vergadering word dit teruggestoot.


Daar moet ook nog ‘n lys saamgestel word van alle boeke en ander items wat deur lede uitgeneem mag word sodat lede bewus is van wat in die biblioteek beskikbaar is. Duur boeke en DVD’s en CD’s wat nie uitgeneem mag word nie, moet pertinent genoem en geïdentifiseer word.

Penny Evans is ook tans besig om lede wat boeke uitstaande het te skakel sodat die boeke teruggebring kan word. Lede kan hiermee saamwerk deur self die boeke te bring en heelwat werk daardeur te spaar.

Chairman Bob Saunders writes: A small team of our membership banded together in our library in their own time to begin a great work that will be beneficial to the whole membership of our club.

We have a tiny space which houses our library, computers and catering gear, and this team saw a need. A need to reorganise our tiny space and to reconfigure our cupboards in such a way that we can utilise our library a bit better.

Louise Dick, assistant librarian

Much of our literature was in the cupboards - in a fashion, but some of it was also still in boxes.

Making the library more accessible needed thinking out of the box, which is what they did. Our cabinets are now on coasters, so the library is after a fashion - on the move! They will be wheeled out of the tiny room into the much larger lobby for everyone to be able to access. A great innovation.

Iris Stephens

A major clean-up was undertaken by our ladies and I can't wait to see the progress that has been made. Rome was not built in a day, but a start has been made and great strides taken to make our assets more useable.

Penny Evans

We have some way to go yet, but my thanks are extended on behalf of the entire membership, to our librarians Graham Southey and Louise Dick, ably assisted by John and Iris Stephens, Marie van Aswegen and Penny Evans for starting the process of "Operation Library".

This is just the beginning of many little "internal" projects will should flow from it. Lets keep the momentum up folks. We need more ideas and volunteers to execute these projects. The committee can do some of it, but we all need to be involved. I am so proud of you guys!
