I found books at this store that I could never have found at Amazon, Borders or Barnes and Noble. I am referring to folk tale books for bilingual Filipino-American children. I am proud to know that my grandkids are now reading about our countries' beloved stories, passed down from one generation to another.
Even if you're not Filipino, this store has A LOT to offer. I do hope you stop by the store.

It is a center where emerging artists and writers can showcase their works as well as a meeting place for other community related events.
