Libraries in Communities : Connecting, Engaging, Transforming

13 August 2015

‘Literacy is more important than ever it was, in this world of text and email, a world of written information. We need to read and write, we need global citizens who can read comfortably, comprehend what they are reading, understand nuance, and make themselves understood. Libraries really are the gates to the future.’—Neil Gaiman


Dear colleague/s:

The Philippine Librarians Association, Inc. – National Capital Region (PLAI-NCR) Librarians Council will conduct a forum entitled “Libraries in Communities: Connecting, Engaging, Transforming” on September 17, 2015 from 8:30-11:30 a.m. at Meeting Rooms 4&5, SMX Convention Center, SM Mall of Asia, Pasay City. This activity is in connection with the 36th Manila International Book Fair come 16-20 September 2015.

In this regard, we would like to invite you to attend this Forum which aims to emphasize the continuing and enduring value of libraries in communities in linking people to information and advocating literacy and life-long learning. It also aims to showcase current initiatives in building more libraries in the country and how librarians, LIS educators and students can help and contribute to these efforts. We have invited Mr. Quintin Jose V. Pastrana, Founder and Managing Director of Library Renewal Partnership, whom we believe is the best resource person to share and testify on the continuing value and importance of libraries in the community.

Participants to this forum will be assessed a minimal fee of Php 250.00 for PLAI members; PhP 300.00 for Non-PLAI members, and PhP 150.00 for students.

The Philippine Association of Academic/Research Librarians, Inc. is pleased to invite you to its 4-day international library benchmarking program in Tokyo, Japan dubbed as “PAARL's Japan Endless Discovery Library Tour” to be held on 21-24 October 2015.

On its sixth year of benchmarking libraries within Southeast Asia and the Asia-Pacific region, PAARL has chosen the “Land of the Rising Sun”, as one of the most developed countries in the world for its industries and cutting edge technology. Japan is at the same time a treasury of traditional cultures, architecture, arts and performing arts with World Heritage sites.

The tour specifically aims to (1) identify best practices in Japan libraries, in terms of technological, space-planning, and infrastructure development; (2) learn new trends and concepts of library services; (3) observe closely how Japan libraries address today’s issues and challenges in their desire to go digital; (4) foster professional and cultural exchanges between Filipino and Japanese librarians; and, (5) establish a linkage with counterpart Japan libraries for future collaborative undertakings.

This event is highlighted with visits to well-selected academic and research libraries, information centers, museums, and cultural heritage sites, like: (1) The National Diet Library, (2) Chiba Institute of Technology, (3) Musashino Art University Library and Museum, (4) Tokyo National Museum, (5) MIRAIKAN “National Museum of Emerging Science and Innovation”, (6) Asakusa Kannon Temple (7) and the Imperial Palace from the Nijubashi Bridge.
