Honouring Excellence: Celebrating Damilare Oyedele as LSA’s Librarian of the Month – July 2025
INFOLIBNET is delighted to share the recognition of Damilare Oyedele as the Librarian of the Month for July 2025, a well-deserved honour extended by the Librarian Spotlight Africa (LSA) initiative. As the August 2024 Honoree and now a proud team member of the LSA family, I would like to express my heartfelt appreciation for this timely acknowledgment of Damilare’s inspiring contributions to the field of Library and Information Science (LIS) and SDGs advocacy. I vividly recall Damilare’s impactful leadership nearly four years ago during the Library Leaders Side Event at the 4th African Youth SDGs Summit. I had the privilege of participating as a virtual co-presenter from Hawassa University, while Damilare skillfully facilitated the session in collaboration with UNECA. His dedication to empowering African libraries and aligning their missions with the UN Sustainable Development Goals has been consistent and admirable.
