The NBDB expressed its confidence in the Marinduque community, stating on their official page, “Naniniwala po kami na magiging mas masigla pa ang pagbabasa sa inyong komunidad sa pagdating ng mga libro na ito.” This message reflects the NBDB’s belief in the positive influence these books will have in encouraging greater reading habits among residents.

The university is committed to serving the community and expanding access to educational resources. With the newly acquired books, MarSU is determined to enhance the Book Nook Marinduque initiative and encourage the local population to engage in reading.
