What’s happening in the library?

I’m thrilled to announce that we have a published poet in the library.

Kalimah wrote a love poem which won first prize (worth S$ 1,500) in a Malay newspaper contest in February. The contest, in honour of Valentine’s Day, was open to couples who had been married at least 30 years — and Kalimah celebrates her 40th wedding anniversary this year.
