III.Implementing Agency(ies): Institute of Arts and Sciences and SLSU Sogod Library
VIII.Proposed Budget (Please show counterpart sharing) This is not a terminal report so
just put the total and not counterparting.
X.SDG: Goal 4 - Ensure inclusive and equitable education and promote lifelong learning
opportunities for all; Goal 8 - Decent Work and Economic Growth; Goal 11- Sustainable Cities
and Communities; and Goal 13- Climate Action.
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member
States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now
and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an
urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They
recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that
improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth – all while tackling
climate change and working to preserve our oceans and forests. This extension project emphasized
the quality education and sustainable cities and communities of UN SDGs. This is to elaborately
address the Republic Act No. 5416 is an Act, Providing for Comprehensive Social Services for
Individuals and Groups in Need of Assistance, Creating for this purpose a Department of Social
Welfare and Development (DSWD). One of the programs of DSWD is the Child Development Center
(CDC) that is designed to provide safe, nurturing, and stimulating environment essential for the
healthy development of the female and male pupils in the community. It stresses quality care and
child growth and development. To this end, this center is encouraged to accommodate a range of
play and facilitate an organized facilities for the classroom teacher of the CDC children. It is a
national Learning Program and the Family support Program to be conducted in the said
community.
The establishment of a Community Library serves as the center of excellence, a cultural
center for patrons, a center for the arts with exemplary library services that support the notion that
libraries are about more than just information, books, and technology. It educates individuals and
stakeholders. As cited by Biando et al., there are 18 reasons why the library is the most important
place in town: 1.Libraries, as community builders, attract a large number of people and create
economic opportunities. 2.Libraries are important partners in sustainability- they foster
community resilience, self-reliance, and a culture of sharing. 3. Libraries’ special collections grow
out of specific community needs that start unique archive collections, such as historic artifacts, oral
histories, digital history projects, relevant community monographs, preserves maps, paintings, and
vital records. 4.Libraries are places where people come to know themselves and their
communities. In the words of Robert Putman,”People may go to the library looking mainly for
information, but they find each other and make new friends, and discuss current events in the
periodical room." There’s a community-building connection that happens all the time. Libraries
serve as catalysts for addressing social problems.
Public librarians know their communities firsthand and are often the first to recognize a
pressing local need, simply because they interact on a daily basis with patrons from all walks of life.
This puts libraries and librarians in the best position not only to bring local issues to municipal
governments and social agencies but also to partner with local governments and agencies to
address the needs of a community. “Library Lunches” or the Summer Food Service Program is a
compelling example of how a library recognized a social need, brought it to the attention of the
community, and partnered with local agencies to address an important issue- how to provide meals
for hundreds of kids.Libraries promote and reflect important democratic values and are a part of
the community’s political life. They play an important role in the political life of a community by
combating community censorship efforts, gathering community members, and encouraging them to
talk about issues of freedom, justice, and democracy. This helps citizens learn to become advocates
for themselves and their communities.Libraries also help to ensure that non-English speakers see
themselves represented in their communities. Multilingual library websites are one of the ways in
which libraries help non-English speakers.Some libraries offer bilingual book clubs. Services like
these help all community members recognize the depth of diversity that exists in their
communities.Libraries provide immigrants with helpful information and opportunities to connect
with their new communities. They provide a place where new immigrants and their families can
connect with resources, learn new skills, and meet new people.Libraries provide information,
resources, and support for lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, intersex, and questioning (LGBTQ)
patrons.They also provide information, resources, and support for patrons with disabilities.
Libraries develop creative programs to partner patrons with disabilities. For example, Book Worm
Café, a partnership with a high school life skills program, allows the library to offer a morning
coffee cart to patrons while providing valuable work experience for students with special
needs.Libraries provide opportunities for free classes that encourage art appreciation as well as art
participation. Providing opportunities for children and adults alike, library arts programs range
from the simplest crafts to the finest of fine arts. These focus on art history, creative writing,
workshops, and painting classes. These are just a few examples of the ways that libraries offer a
wealth of opportunities to explore and understand art. Libraries provide access to the arts for all,
not just those who can afford them. As Keith Richards said, “The public library is the great
equalizer”. In addition, library book groups allow people to explore and discuss literary arts.
Further, Art tourism is a significant driver of cultural exchange, economic growth, and heritage
preservation, while also fostering community engagement and sustainable development. It
promotes global art exchange, understanding, and support for local artisans. Libraries serve as the
“people’s university”. They provide information and educational opportunities free for all people,
regardless of their socio-economic status. In addition, many libraries present classes and discussion
programs and even provide online continuing education courses such as the Universal Class
Database. Libraries offer opportunities for remote access, making it possible for those who can’t get
to the library to still access the library’s cultural and educational offerings. 16. Libraries go beyond
providing content to enabling patrons to create their own content. Library users aren’t just
information consumers but they’re also information producers. Patrons use the library to gain
knowledge in order to create their own new independent works. Libraries provide spaces and
services that meet the needs of people who want to learn to edit Wikipedia, set up blogs or
podcasts, and create their own scholarly works. Many libraries offer art or writing workshops and
groups and provide music rooms for patrons. Programs like ImagineOn provide exciting models
that take community partnership, creativity, and creation to a new level.17.Libraries are champions
of youth. It teaches teens important life skills, such as volunteer opportunities, programs, and jobs
that can prepare them for success in high school and college. Free tutoring and homework help
programs for kids and teens can be of great economic help, positively impacting that give impact to
student’s academic performance. The cost of hiring a tutor is well beyond what library patrons can
afford, so libraries offer homework help and tutoring online, by phone, in person, and even through
social media and homework apps. Annual summer reading programs also have a positive impact
on student performance. According to a 2010 study conducted by Dominican University’s Graduate
School of Library and Information Science, students’ reading skills get a boost from these popular
nationwide events. Libraries are important partners in child development. Through library
collections, programs, and physical spaces, children learn to share, be engaged in their
communities, participate in the arts, and explore their immediate world and the world at large.
There are endless examples of innovative library services for children, such as Nature Explorium,
which engages children in learning about the natural world to build and maintain strong
community connections. The proponents encourage to try of these ideas that will help better
convince community leaders of the important role that public libraries play in communities, large
and small.
With this, SLSU has aspired to extend community assistance as part of its social
responsibility. Providing community services, projects, programs, and activities to nearby
barangays is one of their thrusts and priorities. Sustainable community development through
quality education is to enhance the learning process of the children, and the whole community will
benefit. Hence, higher education institutions are significantly important for shaping the future of
female and male children, teenagers, and young adults. The center is expected to be a community-
friendly facility with a welcoming and nurturing environment that attracts the interest of young
children, youth, and adults, helping to develop their love for learning. It emphasizes the importance
of introducing education for sustainable growth and development. Furthermore, the Art Assistance
Project will provide a livelihood as part of the university's efforts to help locals develop their
abilities in art for personal and professional development. Hence, it also aspires to assist the
population, especially those in the marginalized sector, in acquiring essential technical and
vocational skills that will enable them to obtain jobs both locally and internationally, while
promoting arts, culture, and tourism. Additionally, this training program provides other sectors of
society with a chance to raise their living standards.
II.Objectives:
1. Train the target beneficiaries in setting up and establishing a community library, including
formulation of Library Rules and regulations, collection development, library management,
organization & classification of library materials, book accessioning and book inventory.
2. Conduct skills training programs include art education, such as visual art education,
performing arts (Filipino music and dance), art for nature to raise environmental awareness,
3. Conduct training workshop in language history, culture in tourism and heritage
preservation.
Higher education institutions like SLSU are continually taking part in sustainable
community development. Providing children with a voice in matters of sustainability can empower
them for decision-making and to act as agents of change for a sustainable future, as well as giving
children time and opportunity to develop their skills, using the learning opportunities already
'built-in' and available. This proposed project, CLAAP, is relevant to the thrusts and priorities of the
University to help the CDC teachers, parents, pupils, Barangay councilor in-charge of Education, and
other clientele living in the said community.
Based on the initial assessment, there is a need for further improvement of the children’s
learning facilities, lagging behind the innovative learning strategies and instructional materials for
the CDC teachers. As observed nowadays, children are fond of using gadgets instead of reading
books and educational magazines. They are very dependent on electronic browsers that are
accessible and provide the information they need. However, due to poor internet connectivity and
a lack of technological resources, there is a need to set up a community library for children and
other age groups, such as teenagers, adults, elders, and others residing in the community. This will
improve learning and augment children’s knowledge, reading ability, and communication skills.
Furthermore, it has been highly recommended by the AACCUP Accreditation to have an Extension
Project to reach- out in the community. This is also one of the University’s social responsibility,
goals and development.
IV.Implementation Strategies:
According to the Barangay Chairman of Tampoong, this program was included as one of the
barangay plans and projects identified since 2018. However, the council was not able to pursue the
plans due to Typhoon Odette last 2021. The barangay hall and other facilities including their
reading center were devastated by the calamity. Currently, the Child Development Center officer,
Education In-charge, and the Council decided to proceed with the implementation of the project to
establish a community library. When they learned that Barangay Tampoong had been selected as
the second recipient of the project of SLSU. They sent a letter request to the university president to
avail of the project. From the office of RIES, a letter request from the barangay has been forwarded
to the concerned faculty from IAS and CHTM as the extensionists of the project in collaboration
with the University Librarian and Library Staff. The formulation of the project is based on the needs
of the BLGU, which was determined by the Barangay Tampoong Council and parents. An extension
project proposal will be submitted to the office of RIES, and a MOA will be prepared as a binding
agreement between the two parties represented by the Barangay Captain of Tampoong and the
President of SLSU. The proponents will coordinate with the National Library of the Philippines as
another means to sustain the project besides the strong support of the Barangay council. The
National Library of the Philippines supports any established public libraries by providing learning
resource materials for collection development. The National Library will require a Barangay
Resolution as proof that there is a functional and established Library/Learning Resource Center in
the community. The cooperating agency has its own role to help, cooperate, and give their
counterpart whatever activities, programs, and projects to be implemented by the implementing
agency. The methods of gathering Sex disaggregated data will be presented separately on men and
women or age groups respectively. The proponents of the CLAAP Team will implement the four
various activities indicated below.

Proponents
The proponents will take the initiative to conduct monitoring and evaluation for every activity
conducted, with reports and documentation. Thus, barangay council are taking their part to do the
same. The resource speakers will be evaluated in every extension activity based on the evaluation
form provided.
The Barangay Tampoong community, both females and males, are the target beneficiaries
of this project. However, in terms of risks, some families may not be cooperative, especially during
the conduct of the training program, due to other family commitments and responsibilities. This
program will provide long-term benefits to the children and CDC teachers because having a library
with equipped books is significant to improve cognitive learning.
The extension program requires consistent financial and moral support and coordination
with the recipient from the start-up to the completion of the project. Hence, all staff and personnel
involved in this project should work closely for the successful implementation.
