ORMOC CITY — The Ormoc City Traveling Library brought its mobile literacy drive to Lao Integrated School, delivering books, reading resources, and interactive learning sessions directly to elementary students.
Storytelling Session and Academic Engagement
The educational visit featured special guest activities and administrative collaboration aimed at building foundational reading habits among local youth:
Guest Storyteller: Ormoc City Councilor Hon. Krizea Mercadal led an interactive storytelling session, bringing children's literature to life and emphasizing the importance of early childhood literacy.
Mobile Book Access: Students engaged with a wide collection of reading materials, storybooks, and reference tools brought directly to the school campus by the city's mobile library unit.
Faculty Collaboration: School administrators and teaching staff at Lao Integrated School coordinated with the mobile library team to facilitate classroom integration and structured reading time.
Sustaining Community Literacy Across Ormoc
Launched as part of Mayor Lucy Torres-Gomez's citywide literacy initiative, the Ormoc City Traveling Library regularly visits barangays and public schools to make educational resources accessible across rural and urban communities:
Mobile Outreach Model: The program addresses geographic barriers to learning by taking books out of stationary facilities and directly into local school grounds.
LGU Support: Local government officials continue to prioritize early education, reading comprehension, and youth development programs across Ormoc City's public school system.
