Arrived at The Villas - Luxury Suite Hotel in Arcadia, Pretoria at 14:20! After booking in I was escorted to my room by the hotel porter - D204 on the second floor. The room was well equipped and comfortable.
I unpacked a few items, still went to the shop and returned in time for the registration at 16:00 just to realise that registration is only at 16:30. With registration we received a file and a bag printed with details on the Carnegie Library Leadership Academy (CLLA) and Centre for African Library Leadership (CALL). After everybody arrived for registration we entered the conference hall, our names was placed at a specific place were one had to sit. After introducing yourself to your neighbours, Ujala gave a heartily welcome to us. She set us all at comfort and briefly explaining what will be expected of us during our stay. Then suddenly the shock came! we had to introduce ourselves by means of the 3 slide PPT we had to submit - this was really unexpected but very informative to learn about the rest of the team and to here where they come from and in which sector of the library industry they function.We then had dinner after which we all went to our rooms to settle in and familiarize ourselves with the rest of the two weeks program. Wondering of to dream-land with anticipation....
