NEW PROMOTIONS and lists of recent arrivals, that’s what!

From the lame title I’ve coined for this post, I’m sure you’ll have figured out that library@esplanade is holding a loan promotion for M. Night Shyamalan’s latest offering, The Happening!

As per usual, borrow 8 items and stand a chance to win premiums and movie passes to The Happening! Heck, with the Force still strong on D.E.A.R., you might as well get 16 items and stand 2(!) chances to win some goodies from the show. But don’t forget to split the receipts, dears! The Happening promotion runs from 13-22 June 2008, so don’t dilly-dally and come down to the library today!

All premiums and movie passes kindly sponsored by 20th Century Fox.

But wait, wait, wait, WAIT!

That’s not the end of it because all public libraries are also holding a promotion to celebrate the Ian Fleming Centenary and the release of the new James Bond novel, Devil May Care. Written by Sebastian Faulks-writing-as-Ian Fleming (howzat for twists!), be prepared for a ride full of thrills and spills that only this master-within-a-master can conjure!

To win a copy of this book, all you have to do is approach the Customer Service Counter and show your loan receipt of at least 4 borrowed items (combined receipts accepted) to receive a Devil May Care promotion quiz form. Answer the simple quiz, fill up your details and drop it into the contest box provided. Receipts need not be attached to the form.

This is where you wanna listen well and listen good!

If you wanna stand the chance to win a bundle of stuff from the library@esplanade, here are the steps a certain “guru” (Ed: *ahem*) suggests you take:

1. Grab 16 worthwhile items you wanna borrow from library@esplanade.
   WIN!
2. Separate them into 2 batches of 8 and borrow them all.
   WIN!
3. Grab both receipts and head to our Customer Service Counter to exchange for 4(!!) James Bond promo quiz forms.
   WIN!
4. Fill up the quizzes and drop them into the James Bond promo contest box. DO NOT attach your receipts to the quiz forms!
   WIN!
5. Shuffle over to The Happening promo on your right, fill up your details (name, IC number, telephone and email address) on both receipts and drop them into the promo box provided.

That’s it! You’ve given yourself 6(!!!) chances to win some awesome gifts and premiums! Now how’s that for happening stuff at the library, eh?

Last but not least, here are the lists of recent arrivals at the library. As usual, they’re done up by eLiz, so go ahead and download away! You’ll need a PDF viewer to read the files, yah?
