"Honestly speaking, sa ating lugar may kakulangan sa pasilidad like yung mga devices and internet connectivity so we tried to establish this library hub para naman may matakbuhan ang ating mga guro and learners para dun sila makagamit ng resources," she shared during Monday's Network Briefing News with Communications Secretary Martin Andanar.
[Honestly speaking, in our area there is a lack of facilities like devices and internet connectivity so we tried to establish this library hub so that our teachers and learners have a place to run where they can use resources.]
Meant to supplement the learning modules, Sumagayan said the library hub provides a variety of books and desktop computers with internet connectivity.
The local government of Taraka also conducts reading activities in the library hub including storytelling audio-visual presentations to improve the reading proficiency and expand the vocabulary of children.
