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 conducted. 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
After the Forum, Quezon Librarians Association (QLA) was born. Proposed By-laws was ratified and officers were elected. The first QLA President elected was Dr. Teresita DJ. Magbag. To see list of other officer, click here.
