New merchandise now available!

We have released a new set of merchandise in time for the relaunching of the campaign we had last week, February 14.

Button pins (25php) - available in black and white; wear these pins and show your library love. 

designs: white pin with Tux (EnggLib's mascot) with the campaign logo and black pin with the text logo

Non-woven polypropylene bag aka "Eco-bag" (40php) - as part of our Greening the Library campaign, we had eco-bags produced intended to lessen our use of plastic sando bags. We were also getting an increasing number of library goers' request for a "take-out" bag where they can stow the books they've checked out from the circulation.

eco-bag dimensions 14" x 11" x 2" (LxHxW)

Nonwoven polypropylene bags promote a greener earth because they are reusable, easy to clean, recyclable, and sometimes made with recycled products. These bags can be quickly wiped clean, and some of them are machine washable in cold water if they are drip dried. Most nonwoven polypropylene bags are made of 5-type recyclable plastic.

Lanyard (80php) - made from polycotton and digitally full-color printed, this lanyard has a 3/4 inch width and revolving hook clasp ideal for holding ID cards and whistle among other things

Of course, we still have our signature shirts branded with the campaign's text logo that shouts "I Love My Library!". Different sizes are available on stock.

The "I Need. I Value. I Love My Library" Campaign

Introduction 

For years, libraries have provided resources and services in support of the research, teaching and learning needs of people. People go to libraries to access information for their personal and professional growth. However, users tend to take libraries for granted and neglect them. This is because users themselves are usually not aware that they are very important stakeholders when it comes to the maintenance of libraries. Thus, unenlightened about their responsibilities as library users, they intentionally do not return books on time, mishelve books, irresponsibly damage library facilities and commit other library violations without concern for other library users and for the library itself.

"I Need. I Value. I Love My Library" is a simple library awareness campaign which promotes the library users (faculty, students and staff) responsibility in the care, upkeep and maintenance of the library materials, facilities and equipment.
