The Philippine Association of Academic and Research Librarians, Inc. (PAARL) invites you to attend its forum titled “Redefining Excellence and Innovation in Libraries,” to be held on July 2, 2025 (Wednesday), from 10:00 AM to 12:00 NN and from 1:30 PM to 3:00 PM at Mega Hall 1, 5th Floor, Mega B, SM Megamall, EDSA, Mandaluyong City.

In an era of rapid transformation, libraries are expected to transcend traditional roles and deliver exceptional value through responsive programs and user-centered innovations. This forum offers academic and research librarians a platform to explore what it means to achieve excellence and drive innovation in library services and design. Through case studies and reflective discussions, it aims to equip participants with the knowledge and inspiration to lead impactful and future-ready library initiatives.

By the end of the forum, the participants should be able to:

  1. Examine key indicators that define excellence and creativity in library programs and services, including impact, sustainability, and responsiveness to community needs.
