The training aims to capacitate key officials and personnel of the schools to enhance libraries, learning resource centers and organization of book collections. Participants also learned techniques in storybook writing and ways of organizing activities such as storytelling, book fair, reading month and other significant events that are related to enhance reading and curriculum in general. Resource speakers came from prestigious schools, colleges, universities and officers of Philippine Librarians Association, Inc. (PLAI) and Association of Librarians in Laguna Province, Inc. (ALLPI). The 3-day training was monitored by the Professional Regulation Commission and awarded with 15 CPD units, which is the highest units given to a Professional Teacher in a year to complete the required 45 units in three years.
