Dear Participants:
Hafa Adai!
The Office of Speaker Judith Won Pat is pleased to inform you that the registration to the 1st
Asia-Pacific Library Congress on
April 28- May 1, 2016 in the beautiful island of Guam, United States of America is now open. The Speaker of the 33rd
Guam
Legislature, Hon. Judith Won Pat, Ed.D who is also the Chairperson of the Committee of Higher Education, Culture, Public
Libraries, and Women’s Affairs is supporting the event in partnership with Kaizen, an events company in Guam, USA and
Global Mentors for Change, a SEC registered organization in the Philippines.
The goal of the Congress is three-fold. First, it aims to establish linkages among the librarians from Guam and the Philippines.
Second, it provides an avenue for high-impact discussions, collaboration and exchange of ideas on current trends involving
libraries. Third, it is also an opportunity for a great travel adventure and benchmarking as the participants have time to do
library visits and have a tour in Guam.
