THE PROJECT BACKGROUND AND HISTORY
Introduction
Public libraries were initiated back in ancient times. A library was a
building or room that contained collection of written knowledge like
books, journals, and periodicals, and also films and recorded music in
which people can read, borrow, and refer to. Library was not the term
used back then, it was repository which was a practice as old as the
civilization. They were known and used by Greeks, Romans, North Africa
and Middle East. However they did not arise in Europe and America until
18th and 19th century. According to an article in History Magazine, about
30,000 clay tablets found in ancient Mesopotamia date back more than
5,000 years. Archaeologists have uncovered papyrus scrolls from 1300-
1200bc in the ancient Egyptian cities of Amarna and Thebes and
thousands of clay tablets in the palace of King Sennacherib, Assyrian ruler
from 704-681bc, at Nineveh, his capital city. More evidence turned up
with the discovery of the personal collection of Sennacherib's grandson,
King Ashurbanipal. Then came the first public library for those with the

proper scholarly and literacy qualifications, that was founded about
300bc, the Great Library of Alexandria. The library held nearly 750,000
scrolls from different places of the world. During 1600s and 1700s were
considered the golden age of libraries in which it surged popularity and
grew more. The establishments of universities and the appearance of
state-supported collection helped the libraries to develop. In Britain, the
second largest library in the world was rebuilt by Sir Thomas Bodley in the
late 1500s. it was known as the Humphrey’s Library but was renamed as
the Bodlean Library. While the largest library was founded in 1759 as part
of the British Museum, the British Library. The earliest public library was
established at the London Guildhall in 1425. The first public lending library
was the Francis Trigge Chained Library in Grantham, Loncolnshire,
founded in 1598. The Public Libraries Act was passed in England in 1850,
legislating the universal instigation of a tax-supported library system. The
law required communities of more than 10,000 residents to support a local
public library through their taxes.
During World War II, libraries became important as it was the main
source of information. Libraries provide materials that offered a fair and
balanced reporting of the war abroad. It was convenient, efficient, and
readily available to disseminate information about the war.

In USA and Europe, public libraries started with a donation from many
private philanthropists like Andrew Carnegie and Benjamin Franklin. Like
other philanthropist, both Benjamin Franklin and Andrew Carnegie
realized that books, and the knowledge they provide, should not be for
just richness but for serving the public and for anyone who aspired to
learn. Because of this belief, they made books and money available to
the general public through their philanthropy.
Knowledge is the key to success, as they say. Library is one of the
sources of the knowledge people sought to have. According to Maria
Orendain, et al. (as cited by De Guzman and Santos, 2017), the quality of
elementary and secondary education is greatly enhanced by a
functional school library service. School library has been recognized as
one of the vital parts of a school system. It is one place where children
form basic concepts about the world, where dreams, aspirations, and
values are born and developed. But Philippines only had limited public
libraries. As of 2010, there were 155 academic libraries that were offered
but has no librarian while there were 1,224 public libraries that offered
1,400,000 volumes for its 1,595,194 users. There were 226 school libraries
available offering 432,000 volumes for it 13,464,123 users. There were a
total of 1,635 libraries that can be used with 8,588,851 volumes but has
16,826,049 users. Based on the given data, there was a 2:1 ratio of users

Page | 4
and books. Clearly, the number of people who used libraries
outnumbered the total of libraries in the Philippines.
Public libraries play fundamental roles in the society. They were
educational institutions that provide educational programs, such as
children’s and adult literacy programs, to improve the literacy levels
ofusers. They also support lifelong learning. Public libraries also play a role
in providing business resources and collections in their institutions in order
to respond to the world economic challenges. They are also essential to
the functioning of a democratic society by providing free and equal
access to high-quality information.
In this industrialized world where everything seems to be digital,
having a public library is not appealing to majority of people. They think it
is old class and outdated since there is an internet as main source of
information. Information in internet is uncertain to be true at all times. Fake
news is all over the internet, nowadays so some people prefer to go in a
library to seek information. Some decided to build establishments that
help people to acquire printed books, journals, and periodical such as
bookstores and coffee shops with books to be read yet not all of it
guaranteed to be useful in academic way. Some countries like United
States, South Korea, and Japan have bookshops that let people lend their
books for hours or even days. There are few establishments like that in

Page | 5
Manila only. Adapting it to other places will help providing people the
knowledge they needed.
Business name is important since it will be the one that catches customers’
attention. It should be unique, simple and easy to remember.
The proponents chose “KinaBOOKasan” as a business name to
assure customers that the business will provide best service with an
affordable price. The business concept of KinaBOOKasan is like a public
library which lets the customers borrow books and other printed materials
but in a reasonable price. But certain things will make it stand and that
includes its quality service, and professionalism of its personnel for its
customers. Also, there will be food and beverages available for the
customers who want to satisfy their hunger and thirst while in the store. The
proposed business location is located at Brgy. Real (Crossing), Calamba
City. This Barangay has known in Calamba City, Laguna for it has many
schools established in the place. Lots of students are spotted in this are
looking for convenience of having resources for their school activities.
Also, this place was practical for students in other places since the
transportation is accessible and cheap. This provides the business its target
market, not only students but other people like teachers and business
people. The location is urbanized for it has malls, public market, schools,
and business establishments around it.

Background of the Study
The selection of a good and feasible topic is the most crucial part of
conducting a research study. The proponents consider their interest,
which is to establish a book renting shop that will people especially
students.
When thinking about a topic, the proponents had a thought of where
they would get related literatures for their study. The proponents thought
of going to libraries but they had realize that there were no enough public
libraries in Calamba, so the proponents come up with the idea of
establishing a book rental shop.
They choose to place the shop in Barangay Uno (Crossing), Calamba
City because it is suitable for new business to grow. The place has many
establishments like schools, malls, hotels, and other businesses around it
that may need the service of the shop. Also, the place is easy to reach by
vehicles since there are terminals of jeeps, tricycles and even buses that
will help people from nearby barangays and cities to go to the place.

flow of the project. This factor responds to the technicalities and basic
structure of the proposed study. This includes service description, service
process, plant size and schedule, annual production capacity,
machineries, tools and equipment that will be used are enumerated with
their corresponding cost, production cost, plant location and layout,
building and facilities, utilities, waste disposal, and labor requirements.
Service Description
The proposed establishment which isKinaBOOKasan: Book Renting
Shop is a library-like shop that will let people lend books that they needed
in an affordable price. The difference of this shop is that it will let
customers bring the book outside of the shop for at most 3 days since
some public libraries restricted people from bringing the borrowed books
home. Also, the shop offers different services and incentives that will
benefit its customers.

Page | 15
The proposed business is named “KinaBOOKasan” was originated
from the Filipino word “Kinabukasan” which means tomorrow, another
day or future and “Book” since it is what the business offers. The business
name wants to imply to the customers that the business is concern about
their future by letting them borrow books in an affordable price which
help them to gain knowledge and that their future will be bright if they
continue to obtain information. Since Calamba was lacking public
libraries, the shop will offer them quality books, academic or
entertainment, that will help them in seeking for information they needed.

The service process shows the procedures and sequences done
when renting a book from the shop. It starts from the registering on the
cashier up to returning the book.

The proponents target customers that shall be accomodated by
the business within the day is 160. Each customer has 2 books to be
borrowed, thus, to compute for the daily supply, the borrowed books will
be multiplied to the number of customers which is 320 books in total. For
the computation of annual production capacity, the daily supply will be
multipled to the number of working days in a year which is 302 days.

business. They will act as admin officers that will monitor the business and
its operation. In connection to this, they all agreed not to receive any
salary but all revenue that will be generated will be divided equally
among them.Since the partners will be the admin officers, they will only
hire employees for the other position. The labor requirement is shown

Waste Disposal
The business will limit the use of plastic and other non-
biodegradable materials. The waste that the plant may produce will be
segregated into, biodegradable, non-biodegradable, white papers and
colored papers since customers may use it while doing their work. Papers
can be sold to some recycling companies but white should be
segregated with colored. The company will look for garbage collectors
who will handle for the proper disposal of waste and will pay them for their
service.

Marketing Aspect
This chapter will help to know the marketing aspect of the business.
The marketing aspect will serve as the basis of the financial section
through the projected demand. This includes the service description, size
of the industry, target market, price study, market segmentation,
competitor analysis, demand study, supply analysis, marketing and sales
activities, and marketing program.
Service Description
The proponents decided to establish a service business namely
KinaBOOKasan: Book Renting Shop that will allow customers to lend books
that can be taken at home. Also, the shop offers foods and drinks to those
customers that will be staying at the shop. It will also let customers use its
computers for surfing the internet and editing of files.
KinaBOOkasan: Book Renting Shop will give its customers reliable and
credible sources of information offline and online since nowadays, there

Page | 26
were many fallacious articles spreading in the internet that can be
misleading and cause arguments.
Size of the Industry
According to the 2015 Census of Population of the Philippines, there
are 454,486 total populations Calamba City has which is 39.10% of it are
students. This data gives the proponents to have a look on how large the
market in the city. The growth rate of Calamba City is 3.14% per year. The
city has many publishing companies that can be the suppliers of books.
There are also publishing house on nearby cities rthat are accessible and
affordable. There are different bookshops in the city and it has a total of
30 bookstores. Since Calamba has large population and continues to
increase, it is an advantage for the business that many people will need
books and other sources of information for their works.
Target Market
The target market of the business consists of the citizen within the
area of Brgy. Real, Calamba City. The business targets people who seeks
information on the daily basis of their lives most especially students since
they are the ones who study different things and do some works that
needed researching. It also targets educators, lecturers, and instructors
that need references for them to be able to teach.

Page | 27
Price Study
The total daily expenses acquired by the business is Php 6,190 and
offered over 320 books which were lend for Php 25 each book.
Market Segmentation
Figure 3. Market Segmentation

Page | 28
Customers are classified into their demographic, psychological,
behavioural information. For the demographic, age is categorized into 12
to 19 who are students, 21 to 40 who are teachers, and 25 to 50 who are
other professionals or researchers. The gender is based from the survey
that was conducted. The income are the average value a person can
have. The education were based from the classifications from the age. For
psychological, people tends to seek information everyday even the
simplest ones, that’s why they needed reliable and credible resources.
Information they gathered will help them gain knowledge and awareness
more. For the behavioural, people are mostly thrifty so they prefer to
borow or rent a book for a cheaper price rather than buying it then it will
be used just once. Facilities, price and availability of the books are
important to attract more customers.

THE PROJECT BACKGROUND AND HISTORY

Public libraries were initiated back in ancient times. A library was a

building or room that contained collection of written knowledge like

18th and 19th century. According to an article in History Magazine, about

5,000 years. Archaeologists have uncovered papyrus scrolls from 1300-

1200bc in the ancient Egyptian cities of Amarna and Thebes and

thousands of clay tablets in the palace of King Sennacherib, Assyrian ruler

from 704-681bc, at Nineveh, his capital city. More evidence turned up

grew more. The establishments of universities and the appearance of

state-supported collection helped the libraries to develop. In Britain, the

law required communities of more than 10,000 residents to support a local

sources of the knowledge people sought to have. According to Maria

Public libraries play fundamental roles in the society. They were

educational institutions that provide educational programs, such as

children’s and adult literacy programs, to improve the literacy levels

in providing business resources and collections in their institutions in order

to respond to the world economic challenges. They are also essential to

the functioning of a democratic society by providing free and equal

access to high-quality information.

In this industrialized world where everything seems to be digital,

having a public library is not appealing to majority of people. They think it

is old class and outdated since there is an internet as main source of

information. Information in internet is uncertain to be true at all times. Fake

news is all over the internet, nowadays so some people prefer to go in a

library to seek information. Some decided to build establishments that

help people to acquire printed books, journals, and periodical such as
