Our LIS students are taking another step closer to their goals! Through the Cataloging Workshop, we are strengthening their skills in preparation for the upcoming Achievement Test (Mockboard) — and ultimately, for the Librarian Licensure Examination.

By mastering the foundations of cataloging and classification, they are building the confidence and competence needed to excel as future professional librarians. 💛

Our BLIS interns from the University of Mindanao joined the Davao City Library & Information Center's Mobile Library visit to Matina Aplaya Elementary School last March 24, 2025! 🚐📖

From storytelling and book reading to leading Disaster Preparedness Orientation, our interns played an active role in nurturing young minds and promoting community resilience. 🙌💡

This hands-on experience highlights the heart of library service—literacy, learning, and community engagement. So proud of our BLIS team for making a difference! 🎓📚
