Leyte. The project’s aims to create library consciousness among the people of the
community and to enrich and further develop the subjects of which individuals are
undertaking formal education to help people remain well-informed.

San Miguel at Sta. Fe, Leyte and they had a meeting with the barangay officials of the
said barangay. Both parties were enthusiastic to start the project for the community
based on their shared ideas.

College Extension Coordinator, Prof. Paul Cipres delivered the cabinets to Brgy. San
Miguel, Sta. Fe, Leyte. This said activity was part of the “Mini-Library Project” of the

the place has started and in this said activity, everyone showed their eagerness to finish
the session within the day. Resulting to this, the cabinets and the mini-library were

Normal Univeristy conducted the Extension Program by donating the library books and
other resources such as computer, textbooks, record books, pencils, ballpens, and
brochuers and flyers from different Government Agencies. The donations were received
by the Barangay Secretary and their community expressed gratitude regarding the

There are also Film Showing of Education Videos to the children as part of LNU-BLIS

that children study in school are just as effective as other teaching materials. They see
the world from another perspective and provide teachers with a new tool to enrich their
lessons. Integrating and using films in the classroom stimulate young children's
imagination and artistic awareness.
