Hi, it's me again. But before we go into our discussion today, let me first introduce my new slogan for this blog: Highlighting interesting news and more! I believe that I will put up more current affairs and local news so that your mind is provoked to think and you may find out something new or bring home something useful. This is also a platform for my other “services” which I provide. The slogan is located in the header.
Another change is that from now on, the topic of the post will be reflected in the title of the corresponding post.
The first topic for today will be the new Ez-Link card. You can now change your old card for the new at Transitlink offices, from what I gather on today's My Paper. The accompanying figure is the new rules and instructions on how to use it.
I am an avid reader and will usually spend my free time in the library or in Borders or anywhere where I found a book to read. So when I can find a book in the library which I can't finish by the 3-week loan period, I have to return it and lose any hope of finding it again. Last time, you can "renew" for free by holding on to the books that you are returning, but now, you have to drop it into a bookdrop and it "disappears". Imagine my surprise when I read in today's Today newspaper writes that the library "will remove the 50 cents renewal fee". Now I'll be able to finish that book for sure no matter how busy I am.
The policy also states that patrons with unpaid fines can't borrow any materials. But sometimes, people like me experience a problem whereby the loan record is not deleted though it went through the bookdrop. But the NLB spokesperson assured that books will be double checked.
My advice is once you come into the library, return them first, then check. If it didn't cross out where it should have, go and find some books and wait about 5 minutes. (10 should be more than enough) Then Check at the eKiosk again. If it's still there, complain inform the person behind the customer service table and they should be able to solve the problem.
