Farewell Mr. Lundberg!

After 2 years of contributing to the Library Club, in 2012, it is time for Mr. Lundberg’s departure from the library club. It is a sad occasion as he has been, and always will be, the approachable, friendly and patient teacher who would guide us in our library journey.

Mr. Lundberg is an impressive writer, having garnered honourable mentions and awards for the numerous fiction books he wrote. In 2010, he joined the Hwa Chong Library Club, to be our mentor and consultant in whatever we do.

Mr. Lundberg is also IT-savvy. He set up our very first Kong Chian Library Blog to promote the library and the club, the institution’s e-Resources, and the events we hold. He was also the creator of both our Kong Chian Library Facebook Community Page and Goodreads group to increase connectivity between the Library and the Hwa Chong population.

Within the 2 years was with us in the club, Mr. Lundberg organized quite a number of book talks with other authors and writers. Mr. Lundberg and fellow experienced writer Dave Chua are acquaintances and he often organizes discussions with him together. During such talks, Mr. Lundberg himself acted as moderator to keep the discussion going.

Other than such book talks, he was also in-charge of the triannual Sabbatical Reading Programme. Did you know that the suggested reading book list for the Sabbatical Reading Programme was compiled by Mr. Lundberg? Mr. Lundberg is both a proficient writer and reader and has been exposed to lots of books. Therefore, he is able to suggest beneficial books we should read in order to bring our English Language standard to a higher level. He also promoted plenty of e-Resources, not only to help us academically, but also to make us aware of the events and current affairs happening around us. Last but not least, Mr. Lundberg also organized a story telling competition, which took place in the 3rd term of 2011.

After all his major and vital contributions to the club, he will now bid us farewell. We would like to express our heartfelt thanks and wish Mr. Lundberg all the best and good luck in his future endeavours, be it in his career or in his life.
