The Beacon Academy is an ALA Big Sister Library Partner School

Mr. John Hickok of the American Library Association (ALA) and the California State University, Fullerton paid the Beacon Academy a visit last Tuesday, October 18, 2022. He presented and discussed with Mrs. Zarah Gagatiga, BA’s Teacher Librarian the ALA Big Sister Library Project among school libraries in the ASEAN. The Beacon Academy is an identified partner school. The project kicks off in January 2023 via online platforms.

Partner school libraries in the ALA Big Sister Library Project will be involved in the following activities:

·     *   receive descriptions of their sister libraries' best practices

·      * receive photo profiles of each other’s' libraries

·     *  enjoy librarian-to-librarian communication for idea-sharing 

·       * be introduced to the ALA Sister Library program for later (possible) partnering with US libraries

This project supports friendship, idea sharing, and communication only.
