Dear colleagues, respected librarians! I sincerely congratulate you on the occasion of May 21 — Librarians’ Day, which is widely celebrated across our country!
In today’s world, where the global struggle for knowledge and information intensifies, the value and spiritual significance of books and libraries are rising even more. A library is not only a place where books are stored but also a sanctuary where intellect and thinking power grow and where light is passed on to future generations. You, dear librarians, who work selflessly in this sacred place, are its heart and soul.
Great changes in a person’s life and advances in thinking often begin with a book. A book shapes every individual’s life, mindset, worldview, and future. Your invaluable service is in helping people access this source of spiritual wealth — the world of books — by guiding them to the right selections and directions.
A librarian is not just a specialist who places books on shelves or searches for information. They are promoters of spirituality, leaders in knowledge and enlightenment, true intellectuals who dedicate love to books and spread knowledge. Every day, you passionately go through thousands of pages and embody true dedication in conveying their meaning to readers.
Dear librarians! Once again, I congratulate you on this blessed occasion and wish you great success in your professional work, good health, and prosperity.
Respectfully,
O.Kh. Khamidov — Rector of Bukhara State University
