3. “When I was little, I wanted what many Filipino
children all over the country wanted. I wanted
to be blond, blue-eyed, and white. I thought-if
I just wished hard enough and was good
enough, I’d wake up on Christmas morning
with snow outside my window and freckles
across my nose!”

25. “Anong pinakamalaking problema
natin sa library, ngayon, bukas, at
magpakailanman?”

26. “Keeping up with information in the new media
There is a lot of information available through the
new technologies and media. Libraries are hopeless
at keeping up with information contained in
databases and social media. They still rely on keeping
and providing access to information that is months or
years old in traditional forms.”

scholarship in Uni libraries: digital engagement, etc.)”

28. "I wish I could give a more "sexy" answer - but
misconceptions from the public about libraries still
being bookwarehouses instead of vibrant learning
institutions making communities smarter - That is
still a problem in 2015... Lots of work to do."
Jan Holmquist

30. “…the notion that being a librarian is not a real
profession. In schools here, the librarian job is
basically a part-time job or a co-curricular activity
where they perform basic library duties. Together
with the ability to get information from the Internet
these days, this notion is etched in people's minds
that they can't believe that librarians are
professionals too. ”

32. “When I was little, I wanted what many Filipino
children librarians all over the country wanted. I
wanted to be blond, blue-eyed, and white the
librarian who never had to worry about
funding. I thought-if I just wished hard enough
and was good enough, I’d wake up on
Christmas morning with snow a bottomless
budget outside my window and freckles a big
bonus across under my nose!”
