Ex Libris UP
Ex Libris is an organization of UP students who are the most diverse group of people you can find anywhere on campus, bound by one passion: books. J
Do you consider yourself an insatiable reader? Do you consider being trapped inside a bookstore overnight as your idea of Heaven? Ever lusted for a book but couldn’t afford it? Ever wished that you could trade some of your old books for the chance to read a certain book out on the market? Ever looked through the Main Lib’s books and wished that they had a more updated and extensive collection? Ever wanted to be part of an org where people are as crazy about books as you?
UP Ex Libris hopes to be the answer to all your book-related problems.

We noticed that among the organizations in UP, there is none geared to promoting the appreciation of literature, especially in the generation of cyberspace and computers. We believe that books are treasures, and that their value to students, as well as to the Filipino youth at large, should not be unacknowledged. Thus, we created Ex Libris UP.
We would like not only to share our love for literature among ourselves, but to those who have not the leisure or the means to do so for themselves. These are the majority of the UP students who cannot afford to buy books, or have access to the books they want because of the limited resources of the campus libraries, etc. We have 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 meetings in which we foster good fellowship and good reading. In these gatherings 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 pool resources together to buy much-desired books.
Help us bring books back to students. Help us keep Ex Libris UP alive!! For the price of 2 large frappuccinos, or a single lipstick, or several hours worth of DOTA, Counterstrike or Warcraft, you can help us this endeavor.
