Umingan Public Library Recipient of a Book Donation

The Umingan Public Library last received a book donation from Bagong Kulturang Pinoy, Inc (http://www.aklatan.org/) which is non-profit organization whose mission is to develop a reading culture among Filipino children. The Massachusetts, USA based organization sent an assortment of 345 books, mostly children story books, last August 18, 2009 with hopes to help promote better reading habits for our young constituents using our Municipal Public Library. The books were awarded through Alicia Patricio Quilicot, Country Directress, and personally turned over by Mr. Andylowi F. Bumatay and duly received by our Municipal Mayor Eldred P. Tumbocon and Municipal Public Librarian Mary Gene P. Fernandez.
