RSRYAA

On its fifth year, Naga Library has become the permanent Secretariat of the Raul S. Roco Youth Achievement Awards. What is RSRYAA?

For anyone who are not familiar with the RSRYAA, it is a program where youth organizations submit a propose project which they will implement for six (6) months. The best organization that can successfully initiate an activity will be awarded with a cash prize of 50,000 and a trophy designed by the National Artist Salvador Bernal.

As of the moment, there are 7 youth groups have submitted a confirmation.

RSRYAA and its preparatory activities may be strange to the usual library works. But the efforts made have provided an avenue to showcase the significant role of the Bicolano youth in the nation building. And that Naga Library, being an institution of knowledge has committed itself to make its activities and services a more youth-oriented. I believe, this is one activities that is unique from other public libraries and the stories crop-up from the youth groups in dealing with the community problems is a an extraordinary lesson that came-out from a reader. Moreover, the solutions that they have adopted are lessons they learned from reading. And this is what made Naga Library as the home of Raul S. Roco Youth Achievement Award.

bienvenido santos @ naga library

NAGA LIBRARY is blessed to have a collection of writer Bienvenido Santos.

The opportunity  to treasure and maintain the personal collection has been given to us by the santos family. the printed collection  and other memorabilia will now be accessed by the general public in march 14.

bienvenido santos is one of the best writers in Philippine literature. 

my classmate vivien soriente of dlsu library told me that the memorabilia collection of Bienvenido Santos is now in their library. given the facilities and expertise, I was delighted to see the room dedicated to him.

i personally acknowledge the proponent of the project - sir Nathan, in putting a special section in the naga library. 

sweet nothing!

five days before the New Year, i am 34. completely different when I was 21, 18 , 16 and 25 - numbers i usually bet in lotto, these numbers do fill with memories in time, and in life. 

yet this time, i am becoming  old  – a role i am arriving at. believed me, the lives of benjamin franklin, michaelangelo, thomas edison, have incredibly well- accomplished than anybody. they are movers at 34 - extraordinary and exceptional! 

but for a public librarian, at 34 is completely different. sweet nothing! as it may seem, is my life began at naga library.

also, i like to bet in the lotto. i want to sing Bruno mars, again and again.. I wanna be a millionaire so freaking bad!
