National Librarian Day: "Honoring Librarians as Keepers of Knowledge"
UIN Jakarta Library News - Online News, Ciputat 07 July 2024 - Indonesia celebrates National Librarian's Day, an annual observance dedicated to honoring the important work of librarians. National Librarian Day aims to recognize the contributions of librarians who are dedicated to preserving, managing, and disseminating knowledge through various types of libraries across the country.
Head of UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta Library, Agus Rifai, expressed his gratitude to all librarians in Indonesia, especially at UIN Syarif Hidayatullah Jakarta. "Librarians are the gatekeepers of knowledge. Without them, a lot of valuable information might be lost or unreachable by the public. National Librarian Day is the perfect time to appreciate their efforts and hard work."
National Librarian Day is also a moment of reflection for the government and society to continue supporting libraries as centers of knowledge and literacy. With the right support, libraries can continue to grow and provide broad access to information to the community, thus improving the quality of education and life.
The commemoration of National Librarian Day reminds us of the important role of librarians in supporting lifelong learning. Let us continue to support and appreciate librarians who have contributed greatly to educating the nation. (Rizki Mulyarahman)
