Manny V. Pangilinan's Keynote Remarks Inauguration of the New Rizal Library, Ateneo de Manila University, 8th December 2009: Libraries are as old as civilization.

From the clay tablets of Babylon to the computers of a modern library stretch more than five thousand years of man's and woman's insatiable desire to establish written immortality and to insure the continuity of culture and civilization, to share their memory, their wisdom, their strivings, their fantasies, their longings, and their experiences with mankind and with future generations.
