Miss Grace Quiblat, a faculty member and PathFit Coordinator, also expressed enthusiasm for the book fair and highlighted its positive impact on the academic community. She is delighted to find the sports and fitness books they need, as the library previously had limited resources. She said that books will be helpful for classes, covering exercises, coaching, and research. She also hopes the library acquires them and looks forward to future book fairs with updated editions.
The success of the 1st NBSC Book Fair marks a promising start for future events. It fosters a love for reading and provides vital resources for students and educators alike.
