At the Senate last week, the most memorable exchange was over the pronunciation of "teeth" and who was the greater liar.

"This is not surprising since only around one-third of our towns have municipal libraries," said NBDB chairman Dennis Gonzalez.

This, however, seems to be not the case. National Book Development Board (NBDB) chairman Dennis Gonzalez cited a survey showing that only three percent of the non-student population — professionals, out-of-school youths and graduates — reads books regularly.
