National Library Board's project Deliver Me with SAVH

The National Library Board (NLB)’s Project Deliver Me was launched in January 2009 to reach out to the less mobile in our community. This is part of NLB’s continuous effort to promote reading and lifelong learning. Sometimes we say that NLB stands for “No One Left Behind” because we believe that everyone has the right of access to our rich resources of library materials and collections. Project Deliver Me is a special service that rallies NLB’s staff, volunteers and other stakeholders in the delivery of library materials to the doorsteps of our less mobile library members. More than 100 members have benefited from this special service since its launch. Members get to enjoy the benefits of borrowing privileges with the Premium Membership which is extended to them at no cost. This membership entitles them to borrow eight library items for a ten-week loan period.

Sign up today! Please register with Ms Pang Siew Gek, Library Co-ordinator either via email: siewgek@savh.org.sg or 62514331 extension 181.

Dining In The Dark

Dining in the Dark is a programme to promote awareness of vision loss to the public.  It aims to give participants the experience of how a visually handicapped person copes with the simple task of having a meal.

You will enter a totally dark room escorted by our experienced visually handicapped servers.  Apart from eating your meal, you will be encouraged to pour yourself a drink from a water container.  The experience will heighten your sense of touch, smell and hearing to compensate the repressed vision.

Since we started Dining In The Dark in 2002, we have had tremendous response from those who had gone through this wonderful and exciting experience.
