August was another month of bringing learning beyond the classroom as the Mobile Library Service reached 𝗕𝗮𝗴𝘂𝗶𝗼 𝗖𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗿𝗮𝗹 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 (𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟰), 𝗠𝗮𝗵𝗮𝘆𝗮𝗴 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 (𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟲), 𝗧. 𝗔𝘄𝗮𝗱 𝗘𝗰𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗮𝗿𝗿𝗶𝗮 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 (𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟭𝟯), 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗠𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗮 𝗔𝗽𝗹𝗮𝘆𝗮 𝗘𝗹𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘆 𝗦𝗰𝗵𝗼𝗼𝗹 (𝗔𝘂𝗴𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝟭𝟳, 𝟮𝟬𝟮𝟲).

The learners took part in engaging storytelling and book reading sessions, while also gaining valuable knowledge through Disaster Education Orientation, First Aid Training, and Basic Life Support (BLS). These activities encouraged a love for reading while equipping learners with practical skills for safety, preparedness, and emergency situations.

From the pages of a book to skills that can save lives, the Mobile Library continues to bring meaningful learning experiences closer to every community. 📖❤️🚍
