The Cambodian Librarians Association (CLA) held its Annual General Meeting (AGM) & Awards 2025 on 14 November 2025, from 1:00 am to 5:00 pm at Benjamin Graham, 11th Floor, West Building, CamEd Business School; a gathering that rose above routine administration and became a heartfelt celebration of Cambodia’s library community. Bringing together librarians from ministries, universities, schools, and community libraries, the event honoured achievement, strengthened professional unity, and set a clear direction for the future of librarianship in Cambodia. At the center of this year’s gathering was a simple but powerful message: Librarians are the foundation of learning, guardians of knowledge, and essential partners in national development. 

CamEd Business School served as an exceptional host for this year’s AGM, offering a modern, creative, and intellectually stimulating environment. Participants began their day with a visit to the CamEd Art Center, where contemporary artworks and conceptual installations created an energizing space for reflection and curiosity. The Art Center’s distinctly innovative atmosphere mirrored the spirit of the gathering itself; a sector evolving, advancing, and embracing new ideas. It set a tone of inspiration and possibility, reminding participants that libraries, like art, are living spaces where knowledge, expression, and imagination meet. CamEd’s support demonstrated its continued commitment to education, research, the arts, and the advancement of Cambodia’s professional library community.
