UP College of Arts and Letters Library

This May, we celebrate Mother’s Day, whose love becomes our first story, first lesson, and first home.

In honor of mothers and mother figures everywhere, the College of Arts and Letters Library proudly features a curated collection of books that explore motherhood through literature, history, culture, and lived experiences. From inspiring narratives to heartfelt reflections, these works remind us of the strength, sacrifices, and tenderness that shape generations.

Visit the library and discover stories that celebrate the many faces of motherhood.🤍

ATIN ANG MAYO UNO! 🔥

Iskolar ng bayan, manggagawa, at mamamayan, tumindig at kumilos ngayong Mayo Uno! ✊ Sama-sama tayong magmartsa at magkaisa para sa katarungan, karapatan, at kalayaan ng bawat isa.

Ito ang araw ng paniningil ng sambayanang galit at sawang-sawa na sa kabulukan ng rehimeng Marcos-Duterte, isang pamahalaang sunud-sunuran sa interes ng imperyalistang US. Ating panagutin ang pasistang gobyerno sa patuloy na pang-aabuso sa uring manggagawa at sa karahasang dinaranas ng ating mga kapatid sa kanayunan! ⚙️🔨

As part of the College of Arts and Letters series featuring faculties from different department in the college. For the month of April, the library features an esteemed professor from the Department of European Languages (DEL).

Mx. Erwin “Win” Thaddeus L. Bautista is an Associate Professor of French and Spanish at University of the Philippine - Diliman’s Department of European Languages (DEL). Beyond his teaching, he has held significant administrative roles such as Department Chair of CAL - European Studies. He is also a recipient of the title Chevalier dans | Ordre des Palmes Academiques for his contribution to promoting French language and culture.

Kasabay ng init ng panahon ang mas nag-aalab nating pagpapayaman ng kaisipan.

Ngayong Buwan ng Panitikan, itinatampok ng CAL Library ang mga aklat na tumatangging manahimik—sumisigaw laban sa paglimot, lumalaban sa pagbura, at humahamon sa bawat pahinang binubuklat natin.

Sampung taon na mula nang tupukin ng apoy ang Faculty Center—sampung taon na ipinagkakait sa artista ng bayan ang espasyo ng pag-iisip, pagtuturo, at paglilikha. Ngunit hindi nito nasiil ang diwa ng panitikan, ni mapawi ang alab ng ating patuloy na paglaban.

Please be advised of the following library schedule.
