The school which was founded in 1946  started in a rented building which was the former residence of the Moreno family with 6 rooms. One was the Principal’s Office and Teachers’ Room. Adjacent to it were the library and laboratory, separated by a thin sawali partition. The library was a library not because it was in the true sense of a library, but only because the room housed the bookshelves. The library was far from being conducive to study because it was used as a classroom. What with the crowded space and the noise of the recitations going on, students had no other alternatives but do the studying and reading elsewhere. The other three rooms were classrooms. Like the library and laboratory, they were separated from each other by sawali partitions that served not even to muffle the voices in each class.

After 5 years, the new building of General de Jesus Academy sprawled on A. Vallarta St. in San Isidro, Nueva Ecija upon its own lot. The building frontage by a new shingle with the Silver Star, Torch and Book – our pledge to the institution and her trust to us –  served as the main features. When formerly  the school had six rooms, now she has nine (9). Interesting to all are the laboratory and library. In the former is gathered costly instruments and chemicals, chart and specimens – the joy of any eager scientist. The library occupying a corner room with windows on both outward sides, literally overflows with maps and charts. Sets of encyclopedias, classical and modern literature, magazines and newspapers – all these, the delight of any literary enthusiast the library has. And now,  the library is in the true sense of a library. It is devoted solely to reading and study.

GJC recognizes the vital role of the library in fulfilling the educational requirements of the students; hence, it continues to be a part of the online learning community even during the pandemic. With the resuming of face-face learning, the library will continue to serve its clientele with a hyflex (hybrid-flexible) learning. This is a combination of onsite and offsite access to available library resources.

Our library has an official website (https://sites.google.com/gendejes us.edu.ph/gjclibrary/home) which you can visit anytime for your academic requirements. It is currently subscribed to EBSCO (http://search.ebscohost.com/), an online international library platform that contains e-books, audiobooks, videos, podcasts, e-magazines and e-journals that can easily be accessed by students using their school-assigned email address and BRITANNICA DIGITAL LEARNING (https://britannicalearn.com/) provides trusted curriculum resources to meet the individual research and learning needs of students and educators across the world. Our library also has an official FB pages (@gjccollegelibrary, @gjchslibrary, @GJCISKO, GLC) that regularly provides updates on the collection of the library and posts announcements regarding our library services.
