In support of the annual Library and Information Services month every November, the USL Libraries celebrated in particular, the National Book Week last November 24-30, 2012. Various activities and contested events were done in different departments. The Grade School library  in partnership with Young Readers Club (YRC) had book exhibit, book donation drive, slogan making, poster making, poem writing and storytelling with book character parade participated by pupils in the department. In the high school, storytelling, book marathon, movie marathon, and  big book making, book talks, globe tour and classical books festival  were participated by students in the department.

In the college department, the School of Engineering, Architecture and Fine Arts (SEAFA) bagged the most “first” in various contested events. The activities were initiated by the Student Organization of Library and Information Science (SOLIS) in partnership with the College Library. Contested events includes: doodle writing, poem writing, tandem telling, storytelling, original declamation, haiku marathon, pencil poster and story knifing.

The role of library in the academic institutions is unbeatable, to say so because the library, it being the heart of the school, is primed responsive and accessible source of print and non-print information.

Having said this, the Cagayan and Kalinga-Apayao (CaAKAp) Librarians Association, Inc. in cooperation with the University of Saint Louis has conducted a Forum on the Role of Librarians in the Philippines Education System.
