Marikina is a City of Readers

July 1, 2008 · Filed Under about marikina, self-help · Comment 

Reading has always been my favorite hobby. It’s not a surprise that I made Marikina City Librarians my friends. The chief Librarian, Jason Cruz, and his assistant, Nonet Angeles, are totally focused on their aim of making Marikina a City of Readers. This week is officially declared as Marikina Reading Week and the City Library prepared week-long reading and learning activities for children and even adults. There is also a Book Fair joined by different publishing houses at the Marikina Quadrangle at the City Hall. This one I recommend you visit. I’ve already bought children books for my son and was able to get freebies (magazines, notepads and pens) for myself too!

Here is the complete program for the Marikina Reading Week as well as the time and venue so you’d know where to go if you or your kids wanted to participate:
