Everything is possible to those who believe, yan ang sabi ng isang sikat na author na di ko na maalala kung sino. Sabi din, if there's a will, there's a way.
Unti untiin natin at matutupad din yan. Sana naman maraming mag take heed sa panawagan na ito. We could all be a part of this noble intention. Sa maliit o malaki man bagay, it will help a lot.
So folks, let's get the ball rolling....and make it happen!
i remember in my senior years in college, we also made the same project as the institute representative in the student council. we requested for a room in the institute and we develop this one as a mini-library. our donors then were mostly graduating students who has to dispose of most of their books used in their junior years. we also solicit some books from, of course, book retailers and publishers. di pa gaanong in ang computers n'un (tagal na kc)kaya, we only had hardbound items. this was greatly patronized and supported by the dean. fortunately, when we open the mini-libraby to the public, we need an extension room.
considering those times that hardbound books were the mostly required items, i assume, digital formats will be the "in" now. Question is, where or whom can we find or solicit such items. I will support that one, as i already had an experience organizing one. who else, raise your right hand please.
