The Iloilo City Public Library (ICPL) recently revealed plans to provide second floor accessibility for patrons with disabilities.

According to ICPL head Marion Aguirre, the second floor is where learning materials are located and said access to such information will allow them to “increase their knowledge.”

She noted, the library currently offers books in braille, along with audio books.

Earlier this month, the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) honored four technical-vocational education and training graduates with disabilities, including a 24-year-old blind massage therapist from Aklan.

“These stories show that nothing can stand in the way of the human spirit to rise above difficulties and challenges,” said TESDA Director-General Guiling Mamondiong./WDJ
