Director Pinto is 2013 PAARL Outstanding Academic Librarian
Three years after USL Libraries was named “Outstanding Academic Library in the Philippines in 2010”, Director Michael A. Pinto was hailed “2013 PAARL Outstanding Academic Librarian”. He accepted the award at the PAARL General Assembly held at the National Library of the Philippines on January 30, 2014. Pinto was a deserving awardee as he performed exceptional leadership roles as the Director of Libraries of USL for 8 years. His active leadership as current Vice President of Philippine Librarians Association Inc., President of PLAI-Cagayan Valley Region Librarians Council, founder of Cagayan and Kalinga-Apayao Librarians Association, his being a teacher, author, resource speaker, trainer, BLIS teacher, and good adviser are only few of the many things that made him a great librarian, truly deserving of the citation.

On February 3, 2014, the Elementary Library donated 134 titles of books (story books and subject reference books) to various elementary schools in Tuguegarao City, Cagayan. The recipients were Larion Bajo Elementary School, Larion Alto Elementary School, Namabbalan Sur Day Care Center, Namabbalan Norte Day Care Center Cataggaman Pardo Elementary School, Cataggaman Viejo Day Care Center, Cataggaman Pardo Day Care Center, and Pallua East Elementary School. The materials donated came from the book donation drive conducted last November 2013 during the National book Week 2013 celebration where pupils from the USL Elementary department gave their personal collections of story books.
Furthermore, the elementary library also donated last February 9, 2014, 158 titles of subject reference books plus 187 different titles of teachers manuals, teachers guides and syllabi through the request of the College of Tourism and Technical-Vocational Education (CTVED) academic outreach coordinator Diana T. Dalman and instructor Arnold Felipe C. Manus. The books were awarded to Campo Iguig which served as initial collection to put up a mini library for the barangay with the objective of helping educate the children and the out-of-school-youth with the use of books.
Helping DPWH with their Library
On December 13, Mrs. Guyos, Mrs. Cristobal and Ms. Alilam went to the Department of Public Works and Highways Region 02 Office to assist in the organization and beautification of their special library. In a day, much has been accomplished such as accessioning, stamping marks of ownership on, cataloguing and classifying technical reports, feasibility studies, manuals, handbooks, monthly reports, annual reports and miscellanies. With this small step, it is the hope of USL Libraries Director Pinto to forge a MOA with the office, establishing unique and practical partnership set to make the DPWH Library more effective.
