Urdaneta library staff holds benchmarking activity at Baguio Library

BAGUIO CITY — Staff of the Urdaneta City Public Library in Pangasinan headed by City Librarian Bernadine Gravela, visited the Baguio City Public Library (BCPL), June 21, for a benchmarking activity after their visit to the Baguio Smart City Command Center at the Baguio Convention and Cultural Center.

Baguio City Librarian Easter Wahayna-Pablo oriented the visitors on the BCPL’s various services and programs.

They also attended the Saturday Storytelling session conducted weekly by the BCPL at the Children’s Playground, Burnham Park that aims to arouse interest in reading among young children.

Wahayna-Pablo said the group donated to the BCPL a copy of the Urdaneta City Cultural Heritage Mapping project which she stressed is a valuable contribution to the library’s cultural resources.

Cultural mapping is the process of identifying and documenting local cultural resources to support heritage preservation and community development.It produces a local culture profile that can guide local government units (LGUs) in planning, policymaking, and cultural programming. – Gaby B.
