hi, i'm the new city librarian!

i am pleased to beep-on my fellow public librarian over my appointment as city librarian of naga.

i dont know why i am sharing this thought, probably because i knew that most of my colleague in the profession were trivial as to why i was stucked for 4 years as officer in-charge of roco library.

going back, there are many events that have helped me become a committed librarian as i may put it.. if there was something i have contribute to the people of naga city, it is my sincere effort to bring the library closer to them,  and making the Naga Library conducive for learning.

THANK YOU GOD and DIOS MABALOS PO SAINT MICHAEL AND INA!

RSR Library rewards and Christmas

If you are thinking of an appropriate activity this season, I suggest that it should be something that provides reward to library readers. Naga’s Raul S. Roco Library has library rewards program, and this month we will rewards 28 readers from 3,000 registered RSR Library Holder with books, library stuff, pins, t-shirts. 

I know that it is very hard to establish good relations and encourage voluntarism in the library, but in Naga Library, we made it despite there were presence of internet café, the National Book Store, the new SM, University Libraries etc. these booklover-Nagueños went to our library to borrow books. 

So these are our library readers who have read books, are reading books and truly, a reader

Children's activity this October

For public librarians who wanted to initiate program this October, I would recommend a reading activity for Children. 

 Raul S. Roco Library’s Be A Reader: rediscovering Raul S. Roco at the library has two activities related to this program - Byaheng Bukmubil and Children’s Bookfest. 

It brings the storytelling sessions and academic contest to public elementary schools through the Bookmobile while the culminating program was held at the City Library. These activities have generated support from Jollibee, local officials and businessmen performing as readers and the Department Education. In fact, last year, Jollibee Naga’s Why Read Campaign, a project partnered and counter part of the City Library’s Be A Reader, has been awarded for its marketing program in the National Level last February 2008. 

Considering the impact of reading among children, I strongly believed that it is essential to design an area for children in every public library. 

REMEMBER, IF YOU ORGANIZED A CHILDRENS LIBRARY, YOU WILL BE VISITED BY A CHILDREN ACCOMPANIED BY THEIR PARENTS. YOU ACTUALLY ATTRACT MORE READERS TO VISIT AND USE THE LIBRARY.
