The
College of Law recently launched the soft opening of its new in-house library
dubbed as “Bangsamoro Library” during the 58th Founding Anniversary
of the Mindanao State University on September 1, 2019. Vice President for
Academic Affairs Alma Berowa, representing MSU System President Dr. Habib W.
Macaayong, and some university officials graced the event. After a short
program, OIC-Dean Norhabib bin Suod Barodi and Vice President Berowa
administered the ribbon cutting ceremony.
Aside
from its modern design, the new library boosted its collections with new law
books. Arguably the Bangsamoro Library is the best unit library in the Main
Campus. Today, the Bangsamoro Library is the favorite spot of law students
given its grand and enticing ambience
for reading and study sessions.
The
establishment of the Bangsamoro Library is part of the “Reinventing MSU Law
Towards Relevance, Innovation, Service and Excellence” programs of Dean
Alizedney M. Ditucalan. The
government of the defunct Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao funded the
construction of the library during the administration of former Regional
Governor Mujiv Hataman. The project was among the results of the MSU-ARMM
programs initiated by MSU System President Macaayong.

With the establishment of the Bangsamoro Library, the law faculty is optimistic that this new facility will greatly improve the quality of learning experience of the students of the College of Law. And certainly, this will give great impact to the quality and competitiveness of legal education in the Bangsamoro community.
The
opening was also very timely for the donation of retired Supreme Court
Associate Justice Mariano del Castillo. The donation consisted of collections
of Supreme Court Reports Annotated (SCRA), Philippine Reports, and other law
books. The books were his entire take-home books upon his retirement. The unexpected, yet generous, idea came out
over a dinner attended by Dean Ditucalan after the 2019 Legal Education Summit
on July 31 to August 1, 2019.
