Under the development agenda of Mayor Edgardo L. Timbol, the Kapalong College of Agriculture, Sciences and Technology (KCAST) continued the implementation of Project BOOKS at Kapatagan Integrated School, Sitio Kapatagan, Barangay Gupitan, Kapalong, Davao del Norte. As part of the ongoing development of the schoolβs reading center, librarians from the Learning and Information Resource Center (LIRC) of KCAST assisted in the proper classification, organization, and preparation of learning resources to ensure that the books and other materials are accessible and appropriately arranged for learners and teachers.
Project BOOKS seeks to establish a conducive and learner-centered reading space equipped with appropriate learning materials and essential facilities that can support reading, learning, and educational development. The project is made possible through the generosity of individuals and partners who have donated books and other learning resources. KCAST likewise extends its sincere appreciation to Ms. Ethel Jane Labud, MBA, and Ms. Irish B. Malnegro for their generous support through the provision of chairs and tables for the reading center. More than creating a physical space, Project BOOKS seeks to nurture a culture of reading, expand access to knowledge, and empower children through educationβone book, one learner, and one opportunity at a time.
