ORMOC CITY — Celebrating the 36th Library and Information Services Month, the Ormoc Public Library and Information Center deployed its Traveling Library directly to the Ormoc City SPED Integrated School, bringing the joy of reading directly to learners under the Special Needs Education (SNED) Program.
The initiative concluded its three-day on-site visit, providing students with accessible, hands-on exposure to curated literary collections and educational materials inside a retrofitted mobile vehicle.
Inclusive Access And Community Partnership
Supported by parents, guardians, and special education teachers, students explored the mobile library's shelves, selected books aligned with their reading levels, and engaged in guided story-sharing sessions.
The project highlighted the local government's goal of expanding public library services beyond physical facilities, ensuring that educational resources reach all sectors of the student population.
Key highlights of the three-day mobile library deployment included:
Interactive Mobile Exploration: Direct access for SNED learners to browse, choose, and read age-appropriate storybooks inside the Traveling Library.
Guided Literacy Sessions: Collaborative reading activities supported by special education teachers and city library staff.
Inclusive Education Support: Reinforcing literacy engagement for students with special needs as part of the nationwide 36th Library and Information Services Month activities.
