The Loyalty Card - Library Dept

“There is no friend as loyal as a book.” Ernest Hemingway

On this occasion, the library introduced its innovative Loyalty Card under the ‘Best Users System’ (B.U.S) for its best users. The Loyalty Card aims at encouraging students to visit libraries more frequently and to make optimum use of the amenities at their disposal.
The card entitles its proprietor to claim a reward after he has obtained 12 stamps on his card upon satisfying the conditions below:

• Regular attendance in the library
• Discipline in the library
• Attendance during story telling sessions
• Punctuality for library periods
• Regular borrowing of books, magazines and newspapers
• Consultation of reference books
• Respect and sharing of the library materials
• Use of the internet
• Participation in library activities
• Helping in library activities


A few well-deserved students and staff members received their cards on that day much to their palpable delight.

“Let us remember: One book, one pen, one child, and one teacher can change the world.” Malala Yousafzai

On this day, the Deputy Rector Mr. Mungly, has announced a grand event which assembles the whole Keats family in a creative endeavour. In line with his firm adage “Enliven your life, tell a story, read a story, better write a story”, Mr. Mungly has announced a major writing project of stories, articles, poems among others from students and staff members of Keats College which would be compiled into a single book. This long-term project which will soon be formally initiated, will culminate till the next World Book Day in 2016. The compilation will represent part of Keats College’s legacy to its future generations as a means of ‘Honouring the Past and Shaping the Future’. This emphasis on writing directly addresses literacy at its highest levels and appeals to the students’ creativity while triggering their imaginations. So, to your pens everyone!

Hats off to all those who worked hard in making the event the success it was: the librarians Mr. Tayab and Miss Korimbocus, Miss Pursun, Mrs. Moctee, Mrs. Mandarun and their respective teams.
