ESC Library Update - January 2021
Welcome Ms. Teng
You may have met her in the library, our new French-speaking library staff, Ms. Yung-Hsin Teng, joined us before the winter break. She mainly takes care of our French collection but can help with any other queries about the library services. Please join me in welcoming her to TES!
Best of the year
The end of the year is the time to reflect and I always enjoy reading people's choices of the best books they have read in the year. Bill Gates' annual booklist never disappoints me, which also inspires us to start the celebrity reading display in the library. Other lists I always refer to are the Goodreads Choice Awards and School Library Journal Best Books. It's really satisfying to see that the books I enjoyed are loved by other readers. What are your best books of the year?
Taipei International Book Exhibition
This year the Taipei International Book Exhibition (TIBE) is going to take place from the 26th to 31st January. Apart from the physical events, the author of the Twilight series Stephanie Meyer and Nobel Literature Prize winner Kazuo Ishiguro will give virtual talks in January!
