The Joeten-Kiyu Public Library raised 16 boxes in all during its canned food, clothes, and toy drive last month, according to library assistant Ray Deleon Guerrero.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe donation drive was a success with a total of 16 boxes worth of clothes, food, and toys, and sandals,\u201d he said. \u201cThe donation drive was a success with kind and generous donations from people who wanted to help out and in the spirit of Christmas as well.\u201d<\/p>\n

On behalf of Karidat Social Services and the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library, Deleon Guerrero thanked everyone who donated. He also credited Lollipops for donating clothes, sandals, and children’s books. <\/p>\n

\u201cThank you Lollipops and people of the CNMI for your donations to assist those in need and continue spreading kindness all around!\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

New collections<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Joeten-Kiyu Public Library and Tinian Public Library added new items to their new collections in December. <\/p>\n

Deleon Guerrero said both libraries have 142 new items. <\/p>\n

The books range from AV2, juveniles, to young adults, and adults, as well as Pacific and Asian books. Recommended books are: 47 Ronin, Painted Ladies, Buried Prey, Friends Forever, Wish you Were Here, Liza, Lexi the Firefly Fairy, Apprentice in Death, Two by Two, Commonwealth: A Novel, Big Mouth & Ugly Girl, The Pilgrims of Rayne, and Wolfsbane. JKPL also has new magazines.<\/p>\n

\u201cOur new collection of books will be appreciated by not only the regular patrons of the Joeten-Kiyu Public Library, but [also] by people who haven’t visited our public library and have wondered what types of books and other items we release each month. It is not only to promote literacy but inform people of what’s new, what’s up, and what’s happening,\u201d said Deleon Guerrero.<\/p>\n

He encouraged the public to stop by and check out JKPL\u2019s daily book sale section of books ranging from children’s\/young adults, and adult fiction, nonfiction books, biography, music, educational, medical books, Japanese\/Chinese, and Korean books as well. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur book sale special will be, \u2018Buy 10, Get 5 for Free.\u2019 So come and enjoy our books!\u201d he said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
