Context and Rationale “Education cannot wait”, says DepEd Secretary, Leonor M. Briones. This statement

signals the continuation of classes despite the proliferation of the Covid-19 virus. Since, there is a restriction of movement in the entire Philippines, DepEd implemented distance learning. Among the three categories of distance learning, it is the modular type of learning that is highly favored by most Filipinos. It is only of this late that the teachers, parents and students have discovered several loopholes in employing modular type of learning and one of them is the inability of some students to answer the modules because some of them are not well-explained. (Rappler:2020) This could be remedied if internet connections and gadgets are present in every home of the Filipinos. In a survey conducted by the Philippine Center for Investigative Journalism (PCIJ) cited the survey in a report saying 13percent of students in the Philippines did not have laptops or computers. Out of 87 percent who had gadgets, only 41 percent had internet connection. The survey also found that 49 percent had mobile phone signals but no internet connections in their households. At least 10 percent did not have both. This substantiates the claims of several parents and students that they could not perform all the activities in the module because of the absence of these gadgets. If you will scan a self-learning module, you will notice some parts there that require the viewing of some videos in the internet. Other self-learning modules also contain minimal information about a certain topic that will enable the students to understand it fully as to answer all the questions correctly. This would not be a problem during the pre-Covid times because the students who did not have internet access could always go to the library to do research.

As of present, Iligan City is still under General Community Quarantine (GCQ) which prohibits people aging 65 above and 15 below to go out. It is in this light that the researchers thought of extending the learning of the students through the installation of mini-libraries in the 8 puroks of Barangay Santiago. In a survey we conducted last June 2020, we found out that only 1% of our students have internet access. Thus, it is hard for them to access information that are relevant in answering their modules.Our students could not also rely with their family members in assisting them in understanding and answering the self-learning modules because majority of their parents and siblings are elementary graduates and high school graduates only. The minilibraries that we are planning to install in the eight puroks will answer this predicament of our students because they will no longer go far from their homes to look for internet connection for, they will be provided with supplementary materials at almost their doorsteps. We also based this with the substantial body of research conducted since 1990 that shows a positive relationship between school libraries and student achievement, we would like to apply this to our students to see whether our long-standing problem on their low performance in school most especially in this time of pandemic will be solved.

In order for this research to succeed, we will be needing the support of the Barangay officials of Barangay Santiago in urging the public to utilize and take good care of the minilibraries. We will also be needing their assistance in reaching out to the people regarding our project and in maintaining the peace and order of the area. The proponents of this project will monitor the progress of the students twice a week.
