As we near the end of National Heritage Month, let us celebrate Samarโ€™s rich history and culture through a special Storytime featuring a heartwarming story and a background video showcasing one of the provinceโ€™s most treasured landmarks โ€” the historic St. Bartholomew the Apostle Parish Church.

Built in 1616 by Spanish missionaries, this centuries-old church has witnessed the story of Samar through generations โ€” from colonization and devastating fires to the enduring faith and resilience of the Samareรฑos.

๐Ÿค BOUND FOR SUCCESS! ๐Ÿš€

โ€‹The Samar Provincial Library successfully conducted its two-day collaborative retreat, โ€œBound for Success: A Collaborative Retreat โ€“ Focus on Teamwork, Future Growth, and Strong Foundation,โ€ last May 20โ€“21, 2026, at the beautiful Burabod Spring Resort in Paranas, Samar.

โ€‹Centered on team building, leadership, and strategic planning, the retreat kicked off with an engaging training session facilitated by the dynamic Mr. Jhunlie E. Escala, PYESDO of the Provincial Youth, Education, and Sports Development Center.

โ€‹๐Ÿ’ก Through his expert lecture on leadership and management, Samar Provincial Library employees participated in interactive exercises like the "Lost at Sea" challengeโ€”honing their communication, collaboration, and critical problem-solving skills under pressure.

โ€‹Our goals for this retreat were clear:

โœจ Strengthen Teamwork โ€“ Building deeper trust and mutual support.

โœจ Lay a Strong Foundation โ€“ Re-aligning our team with the library's core values and the provincial government's mission.

โœจ Plan for Future Growth โ€“ Brainstorming innovative library services and broader community outreach.

โ€‹THANK YOU SO MUCH to:

๐Ÿ™ Sir Jhunlie E. Escala for excellently imparting valuable lessons on leadership.

๐Ÿ™ Ma'am Melita Mallari (OIC, Samar Provincial Library) for championing this program for our office.

๐Ÿ™ The Provincial Government of Samar, led by Governor Sharee Ann T. Tan, for their unwavering support of library programs and the professional growth of our team.

โ€‹Together, we serve with excellence! ๐Ÿ›๏ธ๐Ÿ’™
