About the Library and Information Services Month
November 2022 is the 32nd Library and Information Services Month in the Philippines. The annual Library and Information Services (LIS) month held every November started in 1991 with Presidential Proclamation No. 837. The LIS month was designed for "public awareness to the invaluable service that libraries and information centers render."
The theme for this year is "Mga Aklatan bilang mga Kanlungan ng Karunungan: Tagapagpangalaga ng Kultura at Pamanang Lokal" (Libraries as cradles of knowledge: Caretakers of culture and local heritage)
For more information and updates on this event, visit the 32nd LISM website and follow the NLP Facebook page.
The month-long activities, under the direction and auspices of the National Library of the Philippines (NLP) and the National Commission for Culture and the Arts - National Committee on Libraries and Information Services (NCCA-NCLIS), were designed to achieve the following objectives:
- Raise awareness in the library community and beyond (through events, social media, websites, blogs, mailing lists) about the importance of libraries to development;
- Create a uniform schedule of events for the many types of libraries by inviting various library groups around the nation to join in the entire month's celebrations;
- Make a collection of evidence-based stories about libraries in the Philippines; and
- Submit stories to IFLA Library Map of the World.
