Dear Fellow Librarians and Library Professionals,

Greetings of Peace and Solidarity!

Today's librarians and library professionals face unprecedented challenges on their role as information providers in an academic institution. These librarians are confronted on how to manage information and how to interact professionally with their colleagues and patrons in their respective library. They need to enhance and develop their personal and professional skills to help them achieve academic excellence.

The MUNPARLAS (Muntinlupa, Paranaque, Las Pinas) Library Association, Inc., a SEC registered organization of librarians is organizing an educational library tour called "BIYAHENG AKLATAN" in selected libraries. The activity aims to expose librarians and library staff to modern libraries in the country; to gain valuable knowledge on the latest trends in organizing myriad resources; to discern how libraries are being efficiently managed; and to promote camaraderie among its members.

In this regard, the MUNPARLAS Library Association, Inc., thru its officers would like to invite you to join us in this educational and informational activity on December 3, 2010. We will visit the following libraries: Brent International School, International Rice Research Institute (IRRI) and Dr. Jose Rizal Museum. The registration fee is Eight Hundred pesos (P 800.00) inclusive of snack, lunch, t-shirt and transportation. Deadline of registration is on or before December 1, 2010.

For more details, you may contact Ms. Marivic Selencio at 8091793/8093793 local 229 or 09391965337. You may also contact Mr. Jury Plaga at 8078080 local 139 or 09162896437.
