One of the library services provided to new students at the start of the academic year is library orientation. Due to new normal setting, the traditional way of conducting the library orientation was transformed into online library orientation. This is a new service that the library has developed in order to introduce library services and resources to students and faculty members, with a focus on the library’s accessibility to its clients despite changes in learning styles. The library provided this year’s orientation to students of all year levels via Zoom and MS Teams in collaboration with faculty members. From October 26 to November 4, 2021, students from the Colleges of Business and Education and Maritime Education participated in an online orientation, while Junior and Senior High School students attended an orientation on November 22, 2021.

Over the years, the Faculty-Library Committee has organized an Outreach Program by donating books, hosting literacy programs, and organizing other activities for children at our community’s adopted school. The Department  hand over the donated books, charts, and school supplies to Balabag Elementary School on August 12, 2021, in the presence of the School Principal, Mr. Ronald C. Valdevieso, and Ms. Roselyn D. Pabalate, Library Coordinator, as well as Mrs. Joecelyn B. Panaguiton, Librarian of the Library Hub of Division of La Carlota City.

We are so grateful to our faculty, staff, and students for their unwavering support in this endeavor.
