The Hullett Memorial Library has made a conscious effort to constantly upgrade its facilities and services in order to remain relevant in this information age. Our foremost concern is to create a warm and information rich environment where students and staff of Raffles Institution can partake a variety of activities both pleasant and conducive to life-long learning with the aid of up-to-date resources and advanced information technology.

The Hullett Memorial Library sees itself as the hub of academic life and the nexus of information gathering and dissemination at Raffles Institution. It exists to:

Provide absolute support for the curriculum in terms of both the resources and services.

Provide a positive learning environment, enabling pupils to become effective learners with access to the latest technology.

Foster a love for reading.

Promote Raffles Institution, by its role as a leader, in school library

services in Singapore

The HML Club (2010/2011), under the

leadership of Wong Zhe Herng has

contributed to managing the Hullett

Memorial Library on a daily basis

especially during after school hours.

Though the club members had dwindled

in numbers, the few committed and

regular have strived their best to help

out.

This AGM report features many fond

memories of the various Club events

organized by the 2010/2011 HML EXCO.

Zhe Herng together with his team has

successfully organized various key events

such as the Year-End HML Camp 2010,

Sec 1 Raffles Trail (7Jan ) 2011,RI Open

House (21May) and AGM 2011 (25Aug).

The Club Executive Committee has

exemplified leadership initiatives in

planning, designing and organizing the

host of activities all in spirit of fostering

camaraderie among club members.

My sincere thanks to the HML EXCO

2010/2011 and I wish all Year 4

librarians all the best in their future

endeavors.

Mrs Cheryl Yap

It didn’t seem so long ago that I took the helm from Hui Chiang last year.

However fast time seems to fly, the time for the next batch to take over draws

near. It may seem like a normal year to everyone, but to have been able to lead

the club, handle the admin and head the activities, has been a great pleasure to

do. I do hope that next year, the club will become the well-oiled clock that I had

envisioned last year, and reach for greater heights.

All the work we managed to do has not been possible without the help of the

teachers, Ms Many, Mdm Ho, Mdm Loy and Mrs Yap. A great thank you to the

current EXCO for making everything work out. It has been a fun year.

Here’s wishing the next year’s EXCO good luck!

This is your Chief Librarian speaking. I know that we have faced many

issues this year, be it from users of the library or within ourselves, and I

congratulate everyone for all the hard work they have put in for the club and

HML. Another year has passed, and the library is still standing, enduring on its

roots. Each and every one is important to the club, and thanks to the

members and especially Mrs. Yap and the staff, we have managed to enjoy

yet another year in the library. I see that our recruitment numbers are low,

but I am glad that those new librarians though few, have wonderful qualities

in them and will make our library a place that is better than ever. From my

point of view, this year’s activities have been enriching, and I sincerely hope

that all librarians can keep the bonds they forged when we were gathered

together to work together as a team to serve the library. Hopefully, I will

observe less petty arguments between members disagreeing and I will see

more of that strong friendship among librarians. This annual report

summarizes this year’s activities and fun we had, and it contains some

reflections as well. This report is a part of the library club’s history, and we

have been going strong for many years already. I want to see that next year

will be the same or better. This club is made depending on us. We shape how

it works, and based on how much effort we put in, the club will prosper as

much. So I wish all the best to everybody, and keep up the good work. Thank

you.
