CAPSU Burias Library
celebrates Library and Information Service Month, National Book Week
By Blossom Pearl O. Villorente
To foster love
for reading and literacy, CAPSU Burias Library commemorated the 31st
Library and Information Service Month as well as participated in the 87th
National Book Week with the theme "OUTcomes. OUTreach. OUTstanding:
Libraries Beyond Boundaries” from November 24 to 30, 2021.
National Book Week, a proclamation issued
in 1934 and amended in 1936, highlights not only a celebration, but also a way
to encourage Filipinos to read, and today, as the pandemic halted the journey
of human lives, CAPSU Burias Library, spearheaded by college librarian Mrs.
Jastin Babilondo-Villas, continuously find ways to create an engaging book week
experience.
“This year’s celebration focuses on our
libraries’ vision of working beyond boundaries with our stakeholders to
encourage and develop more interest in the love of reading and excitement for
books as a fun and enjoyable way to spend quality time with our family members
and achieve lifelong learning skills,” Mrs. Villas said.
The activities for the two events, which included Spoken
Word Contest and Cutest/Memorable Photo in the Library were set up via an
online platform and were joined by students, faculty, staff, and alumni of
CAPSU Burias.
According to the librarian, they
appreciated the effort of the students who gave their extra time and effort to
participate in the activities they had prepared despite the burden of their
education, outputs to pass on, and pursuits that they must be dealing
with.
Cash, load rewards, and certificates were
placed in line to encourage additional participants and among the students who
took part in the Cutest/Memorable Photo in the Library, Myra Obrique, a third
year BSABE student won the first prize; the second prize was bagged by the
Supreme Student Council (SSC), one of the major organizations of the
university; and the third prize was given to Honey Lee Longares, a fourth year
student from BSABE. Conversely, Jenebe Torreblanca, a fourth year BSABE student
too, was awarded as the winner in the Spoken Word Contest.
Mrs. Villas further revealed that, “The
support of the students in the library and their engagement in our activities
inspire us more to stay connected, especially in this new normal of learning.”
