 | We’re not just about books. We’re about Life. We’re about helping others. | Jan 17, 2007 |
Ex Libris Philippines enables its members to live out man’s highest ideals found in our favorite, inspiring books. We believe that the nobility of ideals and great vision should not just exist in the pages of books or in the minds of authors long-dead and gone, but in reality.
For our first fundraiser, we raised funds in order to send U.P. students to school. We held a special screening of Frank Miller's"300"last March 7, 2007.
The proceeds went to the Ex Libris Philippines Scholarship Project. Our two U.P. scholars are Gerico Punzalan and Hanna Garcia.
For this year's fundraising project, we are holding an opera production of Donizetti's DON PASQUALE, starring talented alumni from the UP College of Music and the university, to be held at the UP Engineering Theater, Melchor Hall, UP Diliman, April 4, 2008 Saturday 6 pm. Tickets are being sold at Php 350 each. EXPERIENCE OPERA FOR A CAUSE! For more details on the DON PASQUALE OPERA SCHOLARSHIP FUNDRAISER, please see the BLOG section below:

Ex Libris Philippines has an organized system of booklending that enables each and every member to have access to many other books through the other members' collections, encouraging them to read more, broaden their literary horizons, or simply bask in the companionship of fellow booklovers. We hold book sessions in which we foster good fellowship and good reading. In these book sessions we share opinions, views, critiques and real life lessons from books; explore other genres, share our favorite books and personal literary experiences with each other, and we can even pool resources together to buy much-desired books.
Future plans of Ex Libris Philippines include the establishment of more scholarships to help send deserving youth to school; the formation of ties with other schools, university libraries, and publishing houses; sponsoring author appearances; and participating in various noteworthy literary causes---such as volunteering to help teach school children how to read.
