Cavite City Library and Museum

A city library holds significant importance as a hub of knowledge, learning, and community engagement. It serves as a vital resource for individuals of all ages, providing free access to a wide range of books, educational materials, and resources. The library promotes literacy, supports academic pursuits, and fosters a love for reading and lifelong learning. Moreover, it serves as a space for community engagement, offering diverse programs and activities that bring people together, encourage cultural exchange, and create a sense of belonging. The city library plays a crucial role in fostering intellectual growth, promoting education, and strengthening the social fabric of the community.

Cavite City Library has an exhibition of photographs of Cavite City's heroes like the Xlll Martyrs, Julian Felipe, Ladislao Diwa and other prominent Caviteños. Other on display I saw are exhibits of old photographs, memorabilia, relics of old furniture and household objects provide a glimpse of Cavite City up to the American occupation.

But it was a dismay visiting our city library. The books and first floor area are all full of alikabok like it has not been cleaned for ages. The catalogue is very rusty and dusty and has not been updated for ages too. Makes me wonder if a librarian really manages it?
