BACKGROUND AND RATIONALE Learning resources, in their various forms and editions, are intended for archiving and upkeeping, that is where libraries come in. In his book talk, John Palfrey challenged the notion that libraries are losing importance in the 21" century, despite their critical role in the information infrastructure (Pruitt, 2015). The basic concept behind establishing libraries is to provide equal access to information. Nonetheless, readership remains a major concern for school libraries, particularly in the age of Googie, because people's information consumption habits have shifted. To modernize collections and encourage 21st century learners to visit libraries, libraries miust establish a system for collecting, digitizing, and providing online access to resources gathered from national and local libraries, museums, and historical societies (Pruitt, 2015} ‘The Learning Resource Management Section (LRMS) carried out a study about the profile and functionality of public school libraries in the Schools Division of Oroquieta City. Out of 51 schools, only 41 have a library facility. The functionality of the libraries was measured through the school library profiling tool provided by the central office. Results revealed that only 1 school is semi-functional and the rest are not functional. Hence, the Search for the Most Functional School Learning Resource Center {SLRC)/School Library is conceptualized by the LRMS to meet the demands of libraries in the Division. This activity generally aims to recognize school best practices in terms of providing learners and teachers better access to quality learning resources through active utilization of the SLRC/school library. I. OBJECTIVES Adhering to one of the Department of Education’s key thrusts of raising the quality of education by improving access to quality teaching and learning resources, the Search for the Most Functional SLRC/School Library aims to: a. recognize school in terms of providing learners and teachers a better access to quality earning materials through active utilization of the school library; b. guide and provide the schools with the standard policies on how to improve their library utilization; c, showcase schools’ best practices in promoting readership through active use of library and other alternatives to such.
