The Cultural Center of the Philippines with the Philippine Board on Books for Young People (PBBY) launched a free eBook, "Magkaiba? Magkaisa! Magbasa: Ang Danas ng Nagkakaisang Sektor para sa Librong Pambata sa Panahon ng COVID" to celebrate the National Children's Book Day last July 20, 2021.

The book contains writings by various authors on the state of the Children's Books sector during the COVID-19 pandemic. It includes 9 essays by authors, publishers, educators, and children's books advocates on how the industry is doing with the current situation. Ana Rosa Almario is the editor of the free book.

The National Children's Books Day or NCBD in the Philippines is celebrated every third Tuesday of July, for the anniversary of Dr. Jose Rizal's publication of the children's story "The Monkey and the Turtle."

Zarah Gagatiga, Filipino Librarian and blogger for the blog School Librarian in Action, has an article on "Librarians and Libraries: On Shifts and Pivots During the Pandemic Era."
