Proud members of the LIST PTO joined the school librarian Ms. Goon in opening the new addition to the Lanna International School library. The computer based centre is intended to assist students in researching post high school opportunities in education and careers. An online data base linkup also allows students and teachers to access magazines, books, journals, newspapers, and more, for better academic research. This was partly accomplished due to funding and support from the school’s Parent Teacher Organization, along with the school’s volunteer Library Support Committee. LIST provided additional funding and made new space available.

This is a follow up to last year’s library achievement of putting the entire library collection onto computer based records so that all can search, find, check out and return materials far more easily and quickly. That project was made possible by grant funding and professional technical assistance received from the University of Texas (U.S.A.) School of Librarian Services.

Continuing library improvements have been possible because of the many volunteers, parents, students and administration who have fundraised and given much time and effort. Peter Train, Chair of the school’s PTO said, “Ours is a warm hearted, family oriented school and this latest improvement shows what we can achieve by all working together on behalf of our children”.
