We, the
UP Library Science Alumni Association Executive Board 2007-08 is involved in a lot of outreach programs right now (please visit our website,
www.uplsaa.org if you'd like to know more). Our latest project is helping the Rotary Club of Marikina establish a community library tentatively named the
Alternative Learning School, whose main clients are out of school youths and adults. Aside from the library, they also offer adult education classes and review classes for users who will take the High School Equivalency Test given by the Department of Education. We recently finished training the library volunteers so they can manage the community library. We signed the MOA between the UPLSAA, Rotary Club of Marikina and Rotaract a month ago.
We are now asking for your help. If you have any old books (text books, reference books, fiction, etc.) or magazines (
National Geographic,
Reader's Digest, Newsbreak, Time,
Newsweek, etc.) that you'd like to donate, please PM me or send me an email. If you need an official letter to formalize the request to your institution, let us know and we'll send you one immediately.
We hope you can help us. Your donations will help make a difference to the youth and adults who use the library. You can help them create a better future.
