Library website down??!

I had been trying to access MPBJ library’s online catalogue since last weekend. The site is down.

None of the people working there look at it? Nobody is doing anything about it?

I don’t have time to drop by after work since it is always jam and I hate the idea of rushing like a mad woman before their closing time at 7pm. Since my mom goes quite often during day, I get her to help me sometimes. Without the access to the catalogue, I don’t get to read as much as I like. :(

When I go there on Sunday morning, I’ll have to waste time browsing from aisle to aisle. The online catalogue allows me to note down the call number then I can just go straight to the shelf and pick up a book.

All must go

I am in the midst of clearing my books, mostly fictional paperbacks which I know I will not read again.

The thing that got me started is when I saw someone looking for some not so popular books. So happen I have one of the books he is looking for. I forgot how much I bought the book for because I bought it second hand too. However, the book is still in good condition, so I offer the guy a good price.

After that another girl messaged me about a Sophie Kinsella book she is looking for. I had mentioned it on the forum I have two books by the author. So I sold it to her. The price is cheap for book in very good condition because I have only read it once.

Sold Books

For this exercise, I’ve compiled a booklist with pricing and I hope to clear off some books. I will only buy very good books like my hard cover Angels and Demons or Da Vinci Code. I borrow books from the library and am loving this because it does not create clutter in my room.

I also want to sell 12 issues of 2009 “Cheers“. It is a Taiwanese Magazine that is focusing on career and business. Sin Chew features their articles in their lifestyle pull-out every Monday. If you’re interested in this magazine, please take all at RM50.
