SASPD at THIMUN Singapore 2014
The SASPD HS MUN team has been hard at work since Monday in Singapore at the THIMUN Singapore 2014 Conference. This year we have a small group of students but they are scattered across a number of very important forums such as the Security Council, the ICJ, and various GA’s. This year in addition our school is providing the Secretary General position which is being filled by Stephanie Tang. Below are a few of the images of the last few days.
A Ceiling of Poppies for the Library
Remembrance Day is next week. In honor of the day the SAS PD Secondary Library has set up a Poppy making station. We have all the materials to make a paper flower. To assist we have an iPad set up with a How To video. In addition we have a Remembrance Wall where individuals can write the name or names of family members that have served their countries in times of war. The Library Staff hopes you will come help us remember. See some images of the paper poppies below. Come back and visit when we hope we have the entrance of the Library Filled
Remembrance Day 11/11…11
Nov 1st — The SAS Library has completed is Halloween marathon and has taken down all its cobwebs, spiders, ghosts and ghouls. We are beginning to set up for SHASMUN, our Middle School MUN conference which begins on November 13th and runs through November 16th. Between now and then, the library will dress itself up with our MUN Flags. Check back to see images of that when is completed. For now, however, we are remembering Remembrance Day, Nov 11th. We will be showcasing our books that recall that time and other times that people and countries failed to work in a peaceful way. Our Library TV will run our WW1 powerpoint show and our Destiny home page will remember… Libraries remember lest we forget…

Shanghai Librarian Network Web Page
This last week saw the birth of the new Shanghai Librarian Network Web Page. While the page is still in its creative stage we are rapidly moving materials and links from the SLN Wiki. We are keeping our fingers crossed that the new page will remain open and accessible in Shanghai. While the page is still being built there is news on the blog part of the website.
Our next Shanghai Librarians Network Meeting is on June 5th at WISS. Hope to see everyone there. We already have the Fall planned out with Big Hopes for a December Meeting with Kevin Henna. This is still in the works so check back and watch the SLN Web Page

Dr. Ross Todd visits SAS Pudong
Wow! Dr. Ross Todd of Rutgers University dropped by the SAS Pudong Libraries this morning. We were honored and touched by his willingness to come and see both the Elementary Library (Kimbra Power) and the Secondary Library (Barbara and Tim Boyer). Dr. Todd had just completed a two day ACAMIS 2014 presentation to librarians at SCIS – Pudong where we were inspired to continue our work as librarians and to work to push the envelope as Teacher-Librarians in the ever changing world of Information Literacy. Dr. Todd stressed the point that we are needed and that we must work to do what it takes to assist in the creation of independent deep thinkers and readers. Thank you Dr. Todd for your time and efforts to support librarians and librarianship around the world. Thank you so much for dropping by the SAS Pudong Libraries.
