Firstly, I was able to reinstate the vision and mission of the QCPL, giving its brief history as well as its functions, enumerating as well its branches established in different areas of the City. Our city library, in 2019 before pandemic, accommodated more than two hundred thousand clients and circulated around one hundred ninety thousand reference materials aside from conducted numerous livelihood trainings. These livelihood training which we classify as under our workforce development were participated by single parents, mostly by mothers, out-of-school youths and senior citizens. One of QCPL’s Advocacies is to inspire and equip parents to raise a healthy and well-balanced child who will make a positive impact in the world that is why parenting conference was a continuing activity until COVID-19 hit our country. Seminar-workshops were also a constant activity in the library, offering different topics to enhance the participant's skills and develop their personal and professional capacity. One of the services in the library that has the highest number of clients was the eGovernment service, which we give assistance in applying to different online government transactions, such as NBI clearance, passport, PSA certificates, Tech4Ed, and others. Storytelling and puppet shows were regular events in the library and our team brought these outside to different elementary and high schools around Quezon City. Branch libraries conducted reading tutorials to motivate children to engage and love reading for pleasure and learning. All these services and activities were suddenly stopped last year March 16, 2020 when the entire country was placed under Enhanced Community Quarantine or ECQ. Indeed, COVID-19 pandemic hindered the operation of our public libraries, however, it did not stop us to continue our services to the community. Like classes, we have to transfer our services virtually. Librarians and staff continue to upgrade and update their library skills through attendance to free webinars conducted by various library associations and organizations as well as in-house webinar for its librarians and staff to cope with the COVID-19 issues and concerns. And since we are still unable to operate and assist our client in transacting with eGovernment services, we provide informative videos with the step-by-step guides. Since many of us stayed at home during the ECQ, that even our staff were on WFH scheme, we were still able to create and produce 708 uploaded videos/activities. These videos were made available for everyone to watch in our official Facebook page. Our online public access catalog or OPAC is accessible via the internet, 24/7 and has over 100 downloadable, open access resources in various subject areas and we keep on adding reliable and free materials every week. QCPL was able to launch virtually our 4th and latest publication entitled “History of QC Barangays: Journey to Early Beginnings of Quezon City Barangays” during the 81st Founding Anniversary of the City last year. The staff also helped and assisted the city’s initiatives as volunteers. Similar to community pantry which started at Maginhawa St., the library crafted our own community pantry dubbed as Bayanihan sa Aklatan ng Lungsod Quezon. Its main objective was to continue spread the value of reading amidst the disruption of face-to-face classes. Books were the main item disseminated in order to serve the purpose while most of our libraries are still closed to the public. The use of internet has been utilized more than before due to the pandemic. We adjusted our services to adapt in the changing landscape. Public libraries have transformed from a mere repository of printed resources into a community center that offers different types of services that the community needs. We offer more than reference materials but also appointment system is now ready in case the library will be open to the public but still on a limited capacity and with proper observance of health protocols. On March 9, 2021 all public libraries in the Philippines celebrated 62nd Public Library Day pursuant to Proclamation No. 563, Series of 1959 with the theme “Philippine Public Libraries: Providers of Virtual Information and Contributors to Community Sustainability”. We are optimistic that QCPL’s services will be anchored towards the fulfilment of this theme to be able to serve our community amidst the pandemic. Let us all pray that this pandemic will soon be stopped. City Librarian's Corner page 3 The Quezon City Government led by Mayor Joy Belmonte assisted in the distribution of the Social Amelioration Fund (SAF) in April and May this year to Quezon City resident beneficiaries. To facilitate the distribution, the city government call for assistance from the different departments, units and offices by providing volunteer staff and I was one of them. Before the deployment to their assigned areas, the volunteers underwent orientation and briefing to ensure peaceful and orderly flow of the distribution. Volunteers were reminded on the proper observance of health and safety protocols. QCPL STAFF TAPPED AS VOLUNTEERS DURING SOCIAL AMELIORATION FUND (SAF) DISTRIBUTION By: Jemalyn Cabanatan CELEBRATING A PUBLIC LIBRARIAN’S EXPERIENCE DURING THE PANDEMIC By: Alistair Troy B. Lacsamana We toiled for almost six weeks, starting the day early and ending it late. Despite the problems we encountered during the distribution, our task went smoothly and without hitch. This, we attribute to the diligent leadership of the City Treasurer's Office staff, especially to Ms. Reyes and Mr. Sanin, who took care of the needs of the volunteers. And because everybody fully cooperated, the City was able to distribute the Social Amelioration Fund to the beneficiaries before the deadline set by the national government. My experience was meaningful and fulfilling at the same time since I was able to offer my services to this undertaking. Through volunteer works, we know that we will be able to help others, especially yung mga walang wala. I also developed good relationship with other co-volunteers as we bonded together despite the challenges encountered. All volunteers were willing to serve and display their deep sense of dedication and enthusiasm. If given the opportunity, I will gladly volunteer and offer my services once again. One April afternoon, librarians from the Quezon City Public Library suggested conducting a regular online talk show during a meeting with librarians from the Schools Division Office. The move forms part of the effort to help other public libraries cope with the effects of the pandemic, which is now on its second year. While some public libraries may have adapted well to the situation, there are those who are unable to do so. Thus, “Bookingan sa Aklatan” was born in a bid to discuss and talk about how other libraries are coping during the pandemic. Since most of our librarians are shy, the talk show will be presented in a light manner in such a way that you feel like you are engaging your friend in a friendly chat. Even non-library related questions can be asked just to break the mood and show that librarians are your regular everyday normal guys. cont'd p. 5 page 4 The QCPL - District VI Libraries consisting of Pasong Tamo and Talipapa Branches, hosted a webinar entitled “Parenting in Time of Pandemic: Parents’ Love Never Ends” on May 12, 2021 via Google Meet platform in celebration of Mothers' Day. The webinar aimed to help parents guide their children in dealing with the challenges brought about by the COVID-19 pandemic such as stress, anxiety, fear, and depression among others. The webinar started with an inspirational message by Atty. Eric R. Juan, Barangay Chairman of Brgy. Talipapa, followed by a message from the special guest, Ms. Emelita L. Villanueva, former City Librarian of Quezon City Public Library. The resource speaker was Pastor Zaldy C. Sulvita. Other officers of QCPL also gave their inspirational as well as congratulatory messages during the webinar, namely Ms. Mariza G. Chico - OIC, Quezon City Public Library, Ms. Lucila R. Raquino - OIC, Assistant City Librarian, Ms. Analiza C. Martinez - Head, District Libraries Division and Ms. Myrene M. Melanio - OIC-Coordinator, District VI Libraries. A total of one hundred seven (107) parents participated fifty- seven (57) from Google Meet and fifty (50) from Facebook live. Most of them testified that they really learned a lot and relate themselves in the topics discussed by the resource speaker. Indeed, the webinar was a success and we are looking forward to hosting another parenting webinar. In May, the following school and public libraries were featured: Bago Bantay Elementary School, Betty Go Belmonte Elementary School, Ernesto Rondon High School, Lucresia Kasilag Senior High School and the Masambong and Roxas Public Library branches. Hope to see you in our next episodes! Maki- BOOK-INGAN Na! Makinig, makisaya matuto! Celebrating...continuation from p. 4 Parenting in Time of Pandemic: Parents’ Love Never Ends By: Marlyn I. Bautista more photos on page 9 page 5 The sprout of community pantries across the National Capital Region and in different provinces in the country has inspired many Filipinos to spread the value of generosity and compassion especially during this time of the pandemic. Inspired by a young woman from Maginhawa Street, offering free books to anyone, take only what you need and give what you may afford to sustain the pantry, shows that the Bayanihan spirit is still alive among Filipinos. The Quezon City Public Library, Payatas Lupang Pangako Branch, has set up the Bayanihan Sa Aklatan ng Lungsod, with an added motto of Book Bank, Pantry Reading: Pick a Book for Free in four areas in District II. Similar to the concept of the Maginhawa community pantry, books and essential food and non-food items, such as vegetables, eggs, toys, rice, fruits, face masks and shields, were distributed as Payatas Lupang Pangako Library underscored the need to continue spreading the value of reading amidst the threat of the pandemic. A total of 673 big books and 100 smart books, including novels/fiction books were given away to the beneficiaries during the event, which was held in different areas in District II for four consecutive Mondays in May. More than 100 Grades 1 and 5 students from Old Balara Elementary School watched “Si Bai at Ang Balanghai” that was produced by the Quezon City Public Library during the celebration of the National Heritage Month in May. The eight-minute puppet show, which featured the puppets of the Butuan City Public Library, enabled the students to learn more about old boats as well as Butuan City’s colorful history. Si Bai at ang Balanghai” was the 12th puppet show hosted by QCPL via Google Meet this year. QCPL was also thankful to Old Balara Elementary School teacher-librarian Ching Garra for the invitation. By: Gilbert Gallaza BAYANIHAN SA AKLATAN NG LUNGSOD QUEZON, BOOK BANK, PANTRY READING: PICK A BOOK FOR FREE By: Sonia E. Bautista cont'd p. 8 Educational Puppet Shows Continued via Online Book Mobile page 6 Inspired by the success of the Community Pantry initiative, the Readers' Services Division (RSD) of the Quezon City Public Library (QCPL) rolled out on May 10 the "Bayanihan sa Aklatan ng Lungsod Quezon" at Sampaguita Court, Botanical Area, Informal Settlers in Barangay Central. The project, ably supported by our Honorable Mayor Joy Belmonte, drew participation from more than 100 families who were provided by members of the RSD Team with packs of rice, canned goods, choco powder drinks, noodles, instant coffee, powdered milk, and some vegetables. Aside from essential goods, the RSD team also handed them with books which could proved very useful in encouraging and instilling the value of reading on their children even in the midst of pandemic. Aside from the RSD Heads & Staff, we would like to especially mention and forward our appreciation to Ms. Emelita Villanueva, Ms. Eden Villanueva, Ms. Divine Pascua, Ms. Jennifer Leoncio and Ms. Mariza Chico for their thoughtfulness and generosity for taking part in our Bayanihan sa Aklatan project. The RSD Team together with other branch libraries’ initiatives are evidence of collective altruism that we, as a nation, need right now. Apathy has no place during these trying times. Only this kind of positive action towards other people is needed. And this initiative might be an amazing start for something greater! QCPL-RSD Bayanihan sa Aklatan ng Lungsod Quezon: Continuing the Spirit of Bayanihan By: Mary Ann L. Bernal page 7 Venues for the event include Villa dela Rosa, Kalachuchi Street in Barangay Commonwealth; Landfill in Payatas; Sangguniang Kabataan Office at San Labrador Street in Payatas A and the Aklatan sa Kubo, Sto. Nino de Payatas. Aside from beneficiaries, bystanders were also given the opportunity to avail of the services/goods provided by the Community Book Pantry. Truly, books are valuable instruments of encouraging people, especially children, to develop their love for reading as most of the beneficiaries enjoyed picking up the books to serve as gift or “pasalubong” for their children. They were also thankful for the additional stuff handed to them. In this trying time, the spirit of bayanihan is indeed planted in the hearts of everyone. With the generosity of District II OIC Coordinator, Ms. Chona Masbate and her team and the thoughtfulness and gratefulness of other benefactors, the Bayanihan sa Aklatan ng Lungsod Quezon Project, was sustained. The activity was peacefully accomplished by following the necessary health and safety protocols such as wearing of face masks, face shields and observing social distancing. Credit was also given to the barangay public safety officers for maintaining peace and order during the activity. Overall, this will not be permitted without the blessings of the Almighty God. Bayanihan sa Aklatan...continuation from p. 6 Bayanihan sa Aklatan ng Distrito Tres By: Prima S.

Ito ay matagumpay na nailunsad ng mga tauhan ng Aklatan ng Distrito Tres ng anim (6) na beses sa mga barangay na nasasakupan ng Project 4, Quezon City, sa pakikipagtulungan sa Project 4 Community Drive, kasama ang mga taong taos pusong nagpaabot ng tulong para sa ating mga kababayan. Layunin ng programang ito na maipadama ang malasakit sa isat-isa at maipakita na hindi hadlang ang estado sa buhay upang makatulong sa iba. Ang maliit na bagay na pinagsama-sama ay makabubuo ng malaking tulong para sa ating kapwa na lubos na nangangailangan lalo na sa panahon ng pandemya. Kasabay ng pamamahagi ng mga food packs na naglalaman ng mga lutuing pagkain gaya ng bigas, kape, biscuit, itlog, sari-saring gulay at facemasks, ay ang 1,600 kopya ng mga aklat pambata na nagmula sa ating mga butihing konsehal ng ating Lungsod Quezon, na kung saan ay maaaring mabasa ng ating mga kabataan habang sila ay naka-kwarantin sa kani-kanilang mga tahanan. cont'd p. 9 page 8 Narito ang pagkakasunod-sunod ng isinagawang Bayanihan sa Aklatan o Community Pantry ng Ikatlong Distrito: Brgy.

Ang lahat ng community pantry na aming naisagawa ay sumunod sa mahigpit na safety protocols kabilang ang pagsusuot ng face mask at face shield at ang pinaka importante sa lahat ay ang social distancing. Bayanihan...continuation from p. 8 continuation from p. 5 page 9 Drawing inspiration from the Filipino Bayanihan spirit, the District IV Branch Libraries set-up its own humble pantry/library cart on Apil 23, 2021 sharing books and essential goods to our constituents who were hardly hit by the pandemic. This is in consonance with the launching of “Bayanihan sa Aklatan ng Lungsod Quezon” program of the Quezon City Public Library which aims to spread the value of reading amidst the pandemic. The pantry was set-up in front of the Cubao Branch Library providing books and essential goods such as vegetables, eggs, biscuits, instant coffee and disposable masks. This is one way of responding compassionately to the needs of our constituents. This project materialized through the help of our OIC-City Librarian Mariza G. Chico, OIC-Assistant City Librarian Lucila R. Raquiño, District Libraries Division Head Analiza C. Martinez and District IV Libraries Coordinator Jennifer Adajo. Because of the good feedbacks we received from this project, the District IV Branch Libraries organized another event on May 7 and 16 in Barangay Kamuning providing nearby residents with books and essential goods such as rice, canned goods, vegetables, noodles, eggs, sugar, disposable face masks, medicines and vitamins. Around 531 residents benefitted from this program. The library staff described this gesture as vital in QCPL’s continuing effort to encourage children and adults as well to shift their focus from gadgets to reading while library operations are still suspended during this pandemic period. The Community Book Pantry in Barangay Kamuning was organized with the support from the Lions Club International District 301-D2 led by District Governor Raymundo Abuel Jr., past District Governor Generoso del Rosario, 2nd Vice District Governor Roehl Castro and Reading Action Program District Chairperson Abbey Carlos. All activities of the District IV Branch Libraries were closely coordinated with the Barangay Officials concerned and made sure that health protocols were orderly and properly observed to ensure the safety of the beneficiaries and staff as well. DISTRICT IV LIBRARIES JOINS BAYANIHAN SA AKLATAN NG LUNGSOD QUEZON By: Maria Carmen C. Chua page 10 During this pandemic health and sanitary protocols were constantly issued by the government to prevent the spread of the covid virus. One of this is the extensive use of hand sanitizers in our daily activities. QCPL District 1 went even one step further by informing the community on how to make hand sanitizer at a much cheaper cost in a video presentation. The materials needed and the step by step procedures of making it were presented in detail, including the suggested store where these materials can be purchased. People surely have more time to do something worthwhile during this time of pandemic. One such activity conceived by the staff of QCPL - Project 8 Branch was the art of paper flower making and arrangement. (Details of which were shown in a video presentation). With the use of colored crepe paper cut into the desired size and strips, the presenter skillfully showed how it was easily done. The finished product could be used to grace special occasions such as: Valentine, Christmas, birthdays, local or home celebrations. Aside from learning which can turn into a regular hobby, it surely gives the enthusiast/s to have some fun in the use of their leisure time. The QCPL District 1 continues to explore ways and means to serve the community during the pandemic. One of this is a video presentation of a workout/exercise suited for pregnant women, deftly demonstrated by the District 1 staff. This exercise helps in reducing backaches, preventing constipation, inducing better sleep, preventing excessive weight gain, strengthening muscle, improving endurance, lowering the risk of acquiring or worsening diabetes, prolonged labor and unexpected C- section procedure. WORKOUT/EXERCISES FOR EXPECTANT MOTHERS DISTRICT I ACTIVITIES By: Analiza T. Puno HAND SANITIZER MAKING - Hand wash is a must!!! DIY: PAPER FLOWER MAKING cont'd p. 12 page 11 The QCPL has, ever since, been promoting the art of reading to the community, whether to enhance one’s knowledge, to get up to date on current events or just for leisure. During this pandemic, the QCPL District 1 - Masambong Branch reached out to remind the community of readers to keep its interest in reading by distributing smart and big books, in conjunction with or separately from its community pantry program. This has been initially done at the Masambong Elementary School, in cooperation with the school’s teachers and some barangay officials. Similar activities will be scheduled in other schools/communities. What started as an act of kindness by a concerned citizen in Quezon City spread like wildfire throughout the whole country. People started to share a bit of their largesse to alleviate the sufferings of many of our less fortunate “kababayans” hard hit by the onslaught of the deadly pandemic. Taking up the cudgels, we at the QCPL District 1 Branches, started our own community library pantry, in coordination with some generous private sponsors. We took this occasion also as an opportunity to push forward the priority objective of the library in promoting the widespread reading of books and literary materials as means of gaining more knowledge and updated information on current events. District 1 staff distributed “Smart books and Big books for this purpose. Along with it, we also shared goods consisting of groceries, vegetables, fruits and other food stuffs, hoping that our efforts could help the families within the neighborhood cope up with the demands of daily living. These activities were carried out during the latter part of April and early part of May, in the areas of: Barangay Bahay Toro, Balingasa and Masambong.

The last speaker, Mr. Esteban, explained the topic about Library Design in Marketing Activities. He presented a simpler way on how to use the other tools of the basic PowerPoint application in creating a more eye-catching and impeccable design for posters together with an informative message that help promote awareness to the public about the QCPL programs and activities.
