ORMOC CITY — Bringing the joy of reading directly to young learners, the Ormoc City Public Library and Information Center (OPLIC) brought its Traveling Library initiative to the students of Lorenzo Y. Palou Elementary School.
The mobile literacy drive aims to make books, educational materials, and interactive reading programs easily accessible to elementary students across rural and urban barangays in Ormoc.
Promoting Youth Literacy And Learning
The visit provided students with direct access to a wide selection of children’s literature, storybooks, and reference materials. Through guided reading sessions and storytelling activities, the initiative seeks to foster early reading habits, enhance comprehension skills, and inspire a lifelong love for learning among young Ormocanons.
OPLIC representatives emphasized that bringing library resources straight to school campuses bridges access gaps for children who may not regularly visit the main city library downtown.
Faculty Collaboration Drives Successful Outreach
Organizers expressed sincere gratitude to the school administration, faculty, and staff of Lorenzo Y. Palou Elementary School for their warm reception and active support.
In particular, the traveling library team praised the teaching staff for organizing a dedicated welcoming program that engaged students and ensured smooth participation across grade levels.
The Ormoc City Public Library continues to expand its mobile library outreach programs, partnering with local elementary schools to nurture strong reading cultures across the city’s various educational districts.
