On July 7, Indonesia commemorates National Librarians’ Day. Librarians are at the forefront of preserving and disseminating valuable information for civillians. They act as the guardians of an inexhaustible warehouse of knowledge, ensuring that relevant, accurate, and up-to-date information is available to anyone who needs it.
Librarians also play a crucial role in educating the public about information literacy. They teach essential skills, such as how to search for, evaluate, and wisely utilize information. This is particularly important amidst the flood of information that can be confusing and misleading.
On this occasion, let us express our sincere appreciation to all librarians around the world for their dedication, expertise, and commitment to serving the community. May this commemoration serve as a reminder to all of us to continue to appreciate and support their crucial role in building an educated and cultured society. (Ed)
