Jakarta, MINA – Indonesia’s Ministry of Primary and Secondary Education has officially designated July 7 as National Librarian Day, recognizing the vital role librarians play in advancing public education and literacy.

The designation follows the resolution adopted at the 15th Congress of the Indonesian Librarians Association held in Surabaya in November 2022.

According to a ministry statement on Monday, the commemoration aims to highlight librarians’ contributions to literacy development, information management, character building, and the nation’s cultural progress.

Although National Librarian Day is not a public holiday, the government hopes it will serve as an occasion for reflection and renewed commitment to developing inclusive, sustainable libraries across the country.
