BULOSAN BOOK CLUB LAUNCHES IN LA, HONORING FILIPINO AUTHORS AND HERITAGE
May is Asian Pacific American Heritage Month, and as we wrap up the festivities, a group of Filipinos are flipping the pages to make sure Filipino history lives on.
Among the shelves of the Los Angeles Public Library Echo Park Branch is a special growing section: The Filipino Heritage Collection.
The shelves include dozens of books about the Philippines, written by Philippine authors, and even some modern Fil-Am fiction and non-fiction pieces, a few by community members themselves.

As a part of Historic Filipinotown, the Echo Park Branch is pleased to be the only public library in Southern California to provide a dedicated Filipino heritage collection, consisting of over 500 volumes on all aspects of Filipino life and culture.
