People’s Center and Library

An imposing neoclassical structure along Real Street, Tacloban City, People’s Center is a huge social hall space on the ground floor and a library in the second floor. It has a huge collection of historical documents recording the rich cultural heritage of the people of Samar and Leyte; a collection of dioramas of the 82 ethnic tribes of the Philippines; a collection of books on the humanities, and reading rooms. Serious bibliophiles, and curators will be dismayed by the conditions of the books. Numerous antique tables and chairs along the hallways for ordinary library use.
