Quezon Librarians Association

Motivated by the Cavite Librarians Association (CLASS), Smile Cabana and Rose Villamater had stirred interest to organize the Association of Librarians in Quezon Province. The association was created before the Regional Conference and General Assembly to provide provincial representation on September 8, 2006. Invitations were distributed to all types of library, private and government alike.

To encourage librarians and unregistered librarians to attend the creation of the association and election of its officers, a forum was set and the theme “ Librarians and their Accountabilities: was established. The forum aimed to enlighten some issues on accountabilities of librarians.

During the morning session, two speakers presented their papers on “Accountabilities of Librarians” Mrs. Teresita Dj. Magbag, Director of Enverga University for Academic Libraries and Mrs. Ismaelinda S. Cabana, Quezon Provincial Librarian for Public Libraries.

57 participants from different libraries of Quezon Province attended the forum. Out of the 57 participants, 15 were registered librarians
