In the culmination of the 33rd Library and Information Services Month in November 2023, UP Baguio Library initiated the “BookNanza 2023” on December 4, 2023, where second-hand books were generously given for free. These books came from book donations that have duplicate copies on the shelves. Following a brief orientation on mechanics by Ms. Eufemia A. Terre, Serials Librarian, students eagerly selected books that aligned with their interests.
In time with December, messaging boards were also set up for students interested in expressing themselves through song lyrics, in line with the Paskonectado sa Musika theme of the Christmas office decoration contest. A complimentary coffee dubbed “UPCUP” was provided to all students from December 3-7, 2023, between 2:00 PM and 5:00 PM. This initiative was undertaken in collaboration with the student organization LightLife, aiming to uplift and support students as they approach their final examinations.
Students savored the week with complimentary coffee available until the supply of free books lasted.
