Annyeong! This is Mi-Kyeong, our korean unnie who maintains seamless access to the library’s collection 📚of over 1 million e-resources (tough work but somebody’s got to do it💪). Mi-Kyeong moved to Singapore in 2008 and joined our library in 2011. She loves Singapore’s evergreens but also misses Korea’s four seasons 🌸🌳🍁☃️. Mi-Kyeong’s motto is to live joyfully and appreciate each day 😇. Check out her recommended read (the strength of the main character reminds us of her). #GetToKnowMeThroughBooks

Siu Chen is a delightful soul who embodies the essence of warmth 🌞 and authenticity. With an easy-going demeanor, she navigates life 🧭 with enthusiasm and an open mind. Siu Chen was law-trained 👩🏻🎓 but she decided to become a librarian instead (coz librarians are way cooler 😎). Though she claims to be a Type A personality, we think she has all the positive traits associated with it while lacking any negative ones. Check out what she reads. #GetToKnowMeThroughBooks

In collaboration with the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum (LKCNHM), the much-anticipated book launch of "8½ Hours in Singapore" unfolded CLB last Wednesday.
Authored by LKCNHM’s Biodiversity Histories team, this book drew inspiration from the late 19th century Japanese artist, Kubota Beisen, whose travel narrative contains some of the earliest depictions of Singapore’s biodiversity, deftly captured during his fleeting 8½ hours spent during transit.
The book is a culmination and celebration of more than 1.5 years of research, in which the team explored Singapore’s historical biodiversity.
“It is through projects like this, that we see the deep value of what NUS’ various collections can offer,” said NUS University Librarian, Natalie Pang. “Our partnership enables us to connect the dots between time and space. By applying our respective disciplines to interrogate, research and interpret these collections, we can create fresh insights.”

This book interrogates the iconic figure of the "Singapore Girl" 👩🏻, a symbol synonymous with Singapore Airlines' image of a beautiful, petite and servile woman in its long running advertising campaigns. It explores the intricate interplay between gender and national identity in the context of Singapore 🇸🇬, offering readers a crash course in understanding how gender constructions in Singapore were shaped and influenced to a large degree by the State, and the ways in which women reclaim and challenge the prevailing gender norms in Singapore.

What was Singapore like at the close of the 19th century? 🤔 The book “8½ Hours in Singapore” — recently launched in partnership with the Lee Kong Chian Natural History Museum (LKCNHM) — offers readers a glimpse into the island’s cultural, historical and environmental landscapes by reproducing Kubota Beisen’s (acclaimed Japanese artist of the Meiji-era) woodblock prints of Singapore (deftly captured in 8½ hours during Kubota’s short visit) and providing translations to his narrative.
