This special event, celebrated as part of the nationwide National Book Week 2025, with the theme “Tulay ang Pagbasa sa Bukas na Puno ng Pag-asa,” created a warm and inviting environment that encouraged students to read, study, and relax.

Students who presented their Library ID/Card enjoyed complimentary free coffee and snacks while supplies lasted. The activity aimed to motivate students to visit the library more often, cultivate consistent reading habits, and enjoy a comfortable and relaxed learning atmosphere.

To make the experience even more enjoyable, the Learning Resource Center also provided board games, giving students an opportunity to unwind, socialize, and take a mental break.

LRC NEWS | Day 4: Watch A Book – Little Girl Big Dream

The Learning Resource Center welcomed Grade 3 to Grade 6 learners for its Watch A Book activity held on November 27, 2025 (Thursday) at ICC FINMAC. The activity featured the inspirational children’s story “Little Girl Big Dream,” presented in a Kids Book Read Aloud format. This program was part of the nationwide celebration of National Book Week 2025, with the theme “Tulay ang Pagbasa sa Bukas na Puno ng Pag-asa.”

The Watch A Book activity aimed to promote visual learning, strengthen comprehension skills, and deepen students’ appreciation for storytelling by presenting a book through an engaging audio-visual platform. The story encouraged children to dream big, stay determined, and believe in their abilities.

After watching the story, students were given a handout activity where they wrote their reflections on the prompt: “What I want to become when I grow up.” This allowed them to connect the story’s message to their own aspirations, fostering self-expression and goal-setting at an early age.

Following the written activity, selected students were invited to share in front of the class what they want to become when they grow up. Their heartfelt and enthusiastic sharing highlighted the impact of the story and the importance of nurturing children’s dreams through meaningful reading activities.

Through this combined storytelling and reflective activity, the Learning Resource Center emphasized the power of books to inspire young learners, broaden their imagination, and encourage them to envision a bright and hopeful future.

The contest aimed to promote artistic expression, creativity, and literacy appreciation by challenging students to create original posters inspired by the theme.
