Dear all,
The first meeting for the year of The Storytellers’ Circle (‘STC’) on 29 January 2010 was a very special event. The National Library Board (‘NLB’) had invited the STC to join in the first anniversary celebrations of its Share-A-Story Club at The Pod (the room at the top!), Level 16, Victoria Street, National Library Building, from 6 – 8.30 pm. I had three very good reasons to make sure I was there – I am a member of the STC, the Share-A-Story Club and am also a kidsREAD volunteer!

Finally but not lastly, we will be rolling out our training programme for trainers. This is the long awaited Project KISH (working title for now).This training is meant for our members and there is a commitment to training once you come for our free training. But when you go out and share your knowledge with the recipient’s organizations that we will identify for you to work with, we will pay you an honorarium. Take a look at the poster on KISH. Do register with us if you are interested. Write to our secretariat@srl.org.sg and let us know so we can keep you in the loop.
