Library Rewards Kids For Reading-- Series # 1

The library rewards program has been suspended and resched due to bad weather. 

But when we pushed it last May 23, It was a big day for the Naga Library - Raul S. Roco Library. I pitched an idea of providing motivation to library borrowers through LIBRARY REWARDS PROGRAM as the best marketing strategy to promote and increase library reader, which in turn, will help increase support for the library programs. With the Library/HUB STaff and City Youth Librarian Jerome Perfecto, it was a wonderful moment for us. 

 Here is the first library rewards kids for reading at the Raul S. Roco Library, with 100 children participated. These kids were borrowers who have read at least 100 books in the Naga Library. We invite them and designed a program for them. The program started with a storytelling at the Children’s Library HUB, playing base drum at the Wharf Galley Bar and a Kitefest at Naga City EcoPark. My gratitude to Jollibee, Eboy of Wharf Galley and to the parents who joined the program.

City Youth Officials

Welcome Youth Officials! 

I heard  that the City Youth Month program of the LGU-Naga earned this year Galing Pook Award, and i congratulate the thinktanks of the project.

This afternoon, I received an invitation requesting to discuss  the features and orient the newly selected 2008 City Youth Officials of the Office functions and services.  a 10-minute idiot presentation is short as  expected.

As expected, Naga City Librarian, a position,  turned into a place for youth-hopefuls who would least choose na lang to help the library because of their interest in reading and apprehension of library works. 

I crossed my finger, and hoping that this time, the City Youth Librarian is a library science students or a would be librarians in the future who will consider the profession, something that they will inspire the youth, that the library plays an important role in nation building.

Bikoliana Section@naga library

Two years ago, I joined the local writers in promoting Bikol Language and Literature and organized a one-day Bikol Bookfest. The program highlighted with a lecture-talk on Mainstreaming the Bikol Language and Literature graced by the National Artist Bienvenido Lumbera, held at the Ateneo de Naga University Arrupee Hall. 

I also partnered the Arejola Foundation for Social Responsibility for the 2006 Premio Tomas Arejola para sa Literaturang Bikolnon.

The occasion gave me the oppurtunity to met and became acquainted with local writers.

My time and effort now is focusing on establishing a Bicol Section.

Arat!
