The
Provincial Library (Information Hub) of
Ilocos Norte is set to distribute thousands of copies of popular magazines in
different schools and municipal libraries in the province.
More than 40,000 issues of
magazine donations were received by the Provincial I-hub from the Emerald
Headway Distributors, Inc. through its “Support a Library Program.”
Librarian-in-charge Matilde
Nery said the effort was an initiative of Ilocos Norte Governor ma. Imelda
Josefa “Imee” R. Marcos, in cooperation with the said company.
“We received more than 40,000
copies of popular magazines including Reader’s Digest, People’s Asia, and
StarTalk and many other entertainment magazines,” Nery said.
She added that they are
planning to distribute the materials during the conduct of Capitol Express in
every municipality.
The Provincial I-hub has been
actively promoting the relevance of books and other reading materials as medium
of learning hence the expansion of the library under Governor Marcos’
administration.
It has been transferred along
the Sirib Mile, the university belt in Laoag City, to make materials more
accessible to students.
The effort is also part of
the provincial government’s goal of developing a conducive learning environment
for the Ilocano youth.
