As part of the USL-University Libraries’ commitment to uplift the condition of libraries in the Cagayan Valley Region, LIS faculty members (spearheaded by Mrs. Arlyn S. Cristobal), library staff (Mrs. Venus Guyos, Mrs. Juliet Villanueva, Mrs. Michelle Abella, Mr. Jayson Mark Cabulay, Mr. Avel Perseus Tallud, Mr. Alfred Iringan, Ms. Charmaine Masuli, Ms. Rosemarie Alejo, Ms. Analyn Malana) and Bachelor of Library and Information Science (BLIS) students conducted outreach activities at Gadu Elementary and High School, Gadu, Solana, Cagayan last December 18, 2014. Activities conducted include: storytelling, library makeover, book donations and at the same time, promotion of the BLIS program offered at University of Saint Louis.

The activity was indeed a good start to enrich the collection and services of partner schools and at the same time one way to expose BLIS students to actual conditions of school libraries’ in the province.
