Lathan thanked the Oreor Club of Saipan\u2019s gesture by awarding a certificate of appreciation to Tutiy. <\/p>\n
\u201cThey deserve it because every year they have always been generous,\u201d said Lathan, \u201cWe really appreciate what they do and support the library.\u201d<\/p>\n
The president of the club in turn thanked Joeten-Kiyu for the plaque.<\/p>\n
The library will add the donation to their acquisition of textbooks and other related library materials as needed by the children and the community.<\/p>\n
The group also assured Joeten-Kiyu of its continuous assistance to the institution to fulfill one of its goals\u2014to help children and students understand that reading books is essential to learning. <\/p>\n
\u201cThis is for the library to buy books and use it for whatever the kids want to read in the library,\u201d said Blesoch <\/p>\n
The organization plans to increase its donation next year if economic conditions improve. Last year the group also donated $250 to the public library.<\/p>\n
