LSU-Ozamiz organizes ‘day of reading’

OZAMIZ CITY: The La Salle University (LSU) is conducting “Araw ng Pagbasa” for its elementary and high school students, Nov. 27.

Teachers are told to conduct storytelling in Cebuano to emphasize the importance of reading and stories written in the local dialect.

Books to be used in the storytelling must be borrowed from the library.

Parents of students can also do the storytelling to the students, Monaliza Mugot, LSU Libraries and Media Center director said.

The “Araw ng Pagbasa is part of the activities of the National Information Month (NIM) celebrated by the school this November.

NIM is a nationwide event introduced by the Philippine Librarians Association Incorporated (PLAI) for students to discover the intricacies of the world beyond their own experience through books and other forms of media.

LSU-Ozamiz celebrates the contributions of the library and promote its use and support with its theme: “Nasa Pagbasa ang Pag-asa.”  

Various activities include book storytelling, book tower challenge, library trivia, exhibits, book fair, promotional video contest, library talk at the LSU-FM and “Watch-A-Thon” Movies.

“I Caught You Reading” pictures of students reading books in the library have been posted in information bulletins.
