One day more…
Another day, another destiny…
- From One Day More, Le Miserable
So it’s not the eve of a revolution, but the eve of an ending and a new beginning (inspired by The Smashing Pumpkins!).
And in this musically-inclined post, I’m feeling like tomorrow is a sort of Bittersweet Symphony.
Tomorrow, we close, and it is indeed an ending of this journey of archiving and documenting the life of a library. But I think the new journey up ahead is starting, and if you’ve been reading this blog, please stay tuned as we move onto planning for our new spaces. We want your opinions!
On the topic of archival and documentation, I’ve really gotta highlight the efforts of our citizen bloggers once again! Check out Alice’s mega effort at 360 deg views of 21 (!!!) spots of the library. Gasp…
Ceneple and Max posted their thoughts about the library, and Charles, Regina and Priscilla have some cool photo sequences. Donna scared me with her promise of a post about 1 thing she hates about the library, but I’ll leave it to you to find out here, what it is that she hates!
To all who are coming for our final swansong at library@orchard’s current venue (Ngee Ann City), I hope tomorrow will be a day you’ll remember 
Cos we’ll definitely remember the library as more than a workplace.
Ending off, here’s my song dedication to the library@orchard:
Speak to me, when all you got to keep is strong
Move along, move along like I know you do
And even when your hope is gone
Move along, move along just to make it through

Here’s mine:
I leave to their goodbyes
I’ve come to depend on the look in their eyes
My blood’s sweet from pain
The wind and the rain bring back words of a song
And we say: wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye
Wave goodbye

And me, I’m inclined to this, even though it’s non-catchy
There are places I’ll remember
All my life though some have changed
Some forever not for better
Some have gone and some remain
All these places have their moments
With lovers and friends I still can recall
Some are dead and some are living
In my life I’ve loved them all
Though i know i’ll never lose affection
For people and things that went before
I know i’ll often stop and think about them
In my life i love you more
