KALIBO, Aklan, Aug. 8 (PIA) - The Sangguniang Bayan of Kalibo has passed an ordinance prescribing the operations of the New Kalibo Public Library in time for the Aklanon's adaptation of the "new normal."

The ordinance intends to make the public library as a free digital education hub and center of contemporary arts and culture to be used by students, teachers and anyone who needs such services.

According to Kalibo Sangguniang Bayan member Phillip Yerro Kimpo, who is principal author of the ordinance, the public library will be expanded for new facilities and modern features to conform to the new normal situation.

New computers with good internet connection will be installed in the library to be used by the public for free. Also, it could be used for distance learning and Tech-Vocational courses.

A space inside the library is reserved for the Center of Contemporary Arts and Culture, as a support for the crowded Museo it Akean. This could be used for watching livestream performances and events that could help prevent or avoid mass gathering.

Part of the improvements of the facility is to make its catalogue digital for easier access and use.

Kimpo said that an "Aklatan Aklan" initiative will soon be promoted in the desire to network the digital catalogues of the different libraries in the province.

The local government of Kalibo will collaborate with the Gregory Ilejay Castillo Elibrary for the digital archives of Aklanon literary works.

Likewise, the learning centers in every barangay of Kalibo will serve as an extension of the library.

The New Kalibo Public Library ordinance was passed on July 27, 2020. (LTP/SQP/PIA Aklan)
