In this insightful episode of Friar’s Desk, we shine a light on the often unsung heroes of education and culture—our librarians. Joining us are Kaori B. Fuchigami, RL (Assistant Head, General Reference and Information Section), Sr. Lib. Raquel B. Lontoc, RL, MLIS (Head, General Reference and Information Section), and Maria Cecilia D. Lobo (Chief Librarian of UST and elected member of the Philippine Librarians Association, Inc. – NCR). Together, they discuss the vital role of libraries in preserving knowledge, promoting research, nurturing intellectual growth, and fostering faith and heritage. This episode is a tribute to those who guard the gateways of learning and help shape the minds—and souls—of generations.
