On September 21, 2022, Malidong High School in Pio Duran, Albay, received the First Science and Technology Digital Library in the country—a "Library-in-a-Box" developed by the DOST Science and Technology Information Institute (STII), after a successful handover by DOST Region V and the Provincial Science and Technology Office of Albay (PSTO Albay).

The Science and Technology Academic and Research-Based Openly Operated Kiosk Station (STARBOOKS) is an offline and stand-alone computer unit containing hundreds and thousands of digitized resources in various formats (text and video/audio) designed in a user-friendly interface. The STARBOOKS will create interest in the field of Science and Technology and encourage curious minds to develop new ideas, inventions, and innovations. As well as inspire one's capacity for entrepreneurship and research.
