“Laging may strategies, gagawa ka lang talaga ng kung ano ‘yung gagawin mong action plans kung walang support,” said Velasco. “Hindi rin ba dahil wala kang ginawang programs, wala kang ginawang proposals? Tuturuan din namin sila mag budget proposal sa susunod.”The division also pays courtesy calls to mayors during their monitoring visits to provinces to discuss with local officials the issues some librarians are experiencing.

Former senator and now Antique congresswoman Loren Legarda filed S.B. No. 1387 during the first regular session of the 14th Congress in 2007 due to the need to equip public libraries with the latest computer technological tools for providing electronic library services. The PCPL is also slowly embracing technology, and so far has integrated the use of barcoding of library cards. In the future, people will be able to use the library cards for borrowing books, but for now, Ricardo said they do not allow the loaning of books.
The QCPL and its branch libraries are engaged in different initiatives in the hopes of reaching more people in all its six districts. In the Children’s Corner of the main library, for example, they hold puppet shows, storytellings and film showings regularly. They also dock Bookmobiles in different public schools for a week to encourage students to “read-in-tandem.”
The PCPL, on the other hand, offers daily tutoring to the children from nearby schools. On a daily basis, the library sees around 400 to 500 clients across different age groups, but as per Ricardo, what they really prioritize is the Children’s Section of the library.
