Francophone Africa has, unfortunately, a deficit in the production of children’s literature. In view of the difficulties in acquiring children’s books, FAVL undertook the process of experimenting with a variety of book production strategies. Today I describe the results of two of those strategies: the production of photo books, and the creation of a center in Houndé to print and distribute locally authored reading materials.

Global Mentors for Change in partnership with Kaizen is pleased to inform you that the registration to the 2nd Asia-Pacific Library Benchmarking Congress on June 6-9, 2019 in the beautiful island of Guam, United States of America is now open. The goal of the Congress is three-fold. First, it aims to establish linkages among the librarians from Guam and the Philippines. Second, it provides an avenue for high-impact discussions, collaboration and exchange of ideas on current trends involving libraries. Third, it is also an opportunity for a great travel adventure and benchmarking as the participants have time to do library visits and have a tour in Guam.

Wow Libraries, Philippines is pop!
1. … eavesdrops, listens and that they all agree that “Wow Libraries, Philippines” is POP!
Either channels 1 or 2 including TV5 can showcase pop
libraries in the Philippines. May this be soon. NCCA grants
with its subcommittee for libraries and other funding agencies
can make this possible for massively drawing Filipinos into
every corner of the nation’s libraries and information centers
through a boob tube’s feature presentation. At the
international scene, name countries like Singapore, Hong Kong or US have wonderful libraries that have
become second home or more than an attraction but accept the general public and utilize the 5 A’s as model
for library tourism and hospitality. (Read more about the 5 A’s, click: Next to Family is the Library)
Specifically, the authentic library hospitality of its personnel, St. Scholastica’s College library is pop!
Internal relations officer, Kristel, of Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Muntinlupa, a first-time visitor, checked the
comfort rooms and was amazed. Its head librarian, Mrs. Lea Olivia Aler, accompanied by equally young, all-
smiled, lovely ladies in school corporate uniforms, dressed in eye-refreshing loveable purple dress was
fantastically good vibe while all interior spaces and rooms, with one voice, spoke “Come and let’s have a
read!” Five POP STARS go to SSC, also, for its biggest surprise this year to thirty-three (33) library tourists
from the south – other than the usual very warm welcome greeting beginning from its school entrance a give
away GO, ST. SCHO! blue fan to really, yummy favorite Tropical Hut tuna sandwiches and bottled water
with napkin for snacks.
The world opens at the DLSU Library and Learning Commons! What a spectacular, potential
library love-brand for this huge, giant Henry Sy Building and every librarian’s dream library. (Read more
about love-branding for libraries and library personnel, click: Love Date With A Librarian). Inside and behind
the Green Tree Building is a big, new world where spaces don’t mean quality, scholarly, scholastic, academic
researches enrich with print alone but a wealth of technology, collaboration and leadership await not only
those who are Lasallians, but also those St. John Baptist De Salle has been embracing since the great time of
France and that include aggrieved Filipinos.
Newly renovated and presented in video as the heart of the institution, the library of Far Eastern
University, awarded last January, now joins a roster of outstanding academic and research libraries like the
other two visited by MUNPARLAS found in Asian Development Bank and Ateneo de Manila University.
An episode in Kapuso Mo, Jesica Soho’s Sunday program about where else FEU students go and spend their
time is a jumpstart point for a documentary on-air to show how libraries change and have become attractive to
born-digital generation or have J Lo’s oozing star smile librarians, Janice Penaflor and Karryl Sagun, of DLSU
and Rizal Library, respectively, both are special program and events’ lead persons with backdrop of an
airplane landing full of passengers somewhere on the 8th floor for book loans or loan-a-librarian service
(Fine Print), neon-colored bean bags, roving library personnel on skate boards or on rollers while being
interviewed for Korina Sanchez’ Balitang K or Kris TV show. Noteworthy to feature in any possible magazine
show on Kapatid is how these breakthrough libraries have achieved a well-balanced hybrid atmosphere,
stimulating, challenged constantly in and out of the library spaces. ADB library’s patron-drivenness is hard-
core service leadership and winsome. Most valued clients may be in “beach vacation or in their bedrooms, or
under a tree” but still in touch with their info experts for they, too, value them, regarded as can’t live without
them support people of anyone – available 24/7 and omnipresent.
Pop is a term derived from or short for popular. Here in the Philippines, the next big-pop culture
wave after “It’s More Fun in the Philippines” for the travel industry might be libraries.
That “identity that goes along with being up to date with current styles and trends other than top music hits
and in the know about current celebrities” is pop. Those libraries are “Breakthrough Libraries of the Decade.”
They are Wow Libraries of St. Scholastica’s College, De La Salle University, Far Eastern University,
Asian Development Bank and Ateneo De Manila University and are pop.
