The leaders elected into IFLA play a huge role in making key decisions that impact libraries and librarians across the globe.
Here at Librarian Spotlight Africa (LSA) we would like to give a shoutout to the outstanding librarians who were elected, especially Te Paea Paringatai from New Zealand (President-elect of the Governing Council) and all those who will serve on the IFLA Sub-Saharan Africa Regional Division Committee and the Advisory Committee on Copyright and other Legal Matters.
People like Dr. Victoria Okojie (from Nigeria), Melba Sitwala (from Namibia) and Damilare Oyedele (Nigeria) others on the list have remained committed to advancing librarianship in Sub-Saharan Africa. Their dedication is inspiring, and seeing it reflected in the election results is something we can all celebrate.
The elected leaders are to serve from August 2025-August 2027. Let us all join in congratulating and wishing them the best in their new roles.
