On November 10th Aylus volunteers assisted in a new book release event. The children’s author, Kiko Liang, broadcasted her book I Am Me in the event to demonstrate it to the young children and then signing her new book as well. The event is started by a musical from a renowned organization before the author herself stands up and reads through the children’s book adding additional author’s insight and explanations. Then she asked the audience of children for comments about the book. Finally she signed copies of her book while the percussionists resumed their music. Meanwhile, all the children enjoyed snacks and cake offered by the library.
Us the volunteers start off by helping setting up the event including organizing the tables, writing down the raffles, and a few being doormen for the arriving parents. Once the event started, when people started to go grab food the majority of the volunteers went and helped handing out the food while somebody else helped facilitate the raffles. Finally, we cleaned up after the event and made sure all the equipment and toys were put away before leaving the establishment. Overall, it was a very enjoyable experience for the volunteers and the parents.
