ONE UPH Library is proud to introduce our Duta Baca ONE UPH Library 2025/2026, a recognition given to members of the academic community who actively and consistently use the library for academic growth and personal development. Through this initiative, we hope to inspire more people at UPH to strengthen reading habits and support a growing literacy culture on campus. 

This year, the library has selected three representatives from the academic community:  

1. Lecturer – Dr. Yonathan Winardi, M.Pd. 

ONE UPH Library has appointed Dr. Yonathan Winardi, M.Pd., English Lecturer at the Faculty of Education UPH, as the Duta Baca ONE UPH Library 2025/2026. He frequently visits the library to seek the latest references, read new collections, and borrow books to enrich his teaching materials. Dr. Yonathan also initiated the Reading Book Club, which involved both lecturers and students, a safe and supportive space to read, discuss ideas, share experiences, and practice English communication. The program, held in June 2024, strengthened collegial relationships, broadened perspectives, and boosted participants’ confidence in speaking English. His commitment has led ONE UPH Library to see him as the ideal figure to become the Duta Baca ONE UPH Library 2025/2026. 

2. Staff - Isa Kristina Situmorang 

Representing the staff category, Isa Kristina Situmorang from Corporate & Continuous Learning, has been selected as a Duta Baca ONE UPH Library 2025/2026. Ms. Isa often uses the library as a place to learn and work, and she actively engages with the library’s collection for personal and professional development. Her positive habit of reading and using library resources makes her a strong example of how the library can support continuous growth for staff members. Her frequent presence in the reading area reflects the significant role staff can play in shaping a literacy-driven work environment. 

3. Student - Grace Angelica Christy 

From the student community, Grace Angelica Christy, a Medical Faculty Student from the 2023 cohort, has been chosen as a Duta Baca ONE UPH Library 2025/2026. Grace is one of the top book borrowers of the year and frequently uses the library to study, read, and look for additional references. Her consistency and enthusiasm in using the library make her a role model for other students in developing strong reading habits. 

They were chosen for their consistency, active involvement, and positive support in using library services and participating in various literacy activities. Through this appointment, we hope to inspire more people on campus to make better use of library facilities, improve their literacy skills, and help build a stronger reading culture at UPH.

Libanev 2025/2026 officially commenced on Friday, November 7, 2025, carrying the central theme of financial literacy. The opening event featured a webinar titled “Literasi Keuangan dan Kekristenan: Bijak Mengelola Berkat dari Tuhan” This session was held amid growing concern over the nation’s low level of financial literacy, as well as the rising issues of debt, online loans, excessive spending, and financial instability within society and moderated by Dr. Yanuard Putro Dwikristanto, S.E., S.Kom., M.Pd in this whole webinar session. 

The first presentation was delivered by Dr. (Cand.) Hendra Thamrindinata, S.Si., M.Div., M.A., Associate Vice President of Faith and Learning at Universitas Pelita Harapan. In his session, “A Reformed Perspective on Finance,” Dr. Hendra Thamrindinata emphasized the importance of viewing money and blessings from God as instruments to advance His work and bring blessings not only to oneself but also to others. He further explained that while wealth and material blessings are essential for human life, they should not be given excessive significance that turns them into objects of greed or misplaced desire. 

The session continued with the second speaker, Dr. Kim Sung Suk, who presented a talk titled “(Digital) Financial Literacy & Christianity.” Dr. Kim, a faculty member and Assistant Professor at the Faculty of Economics and Business at Universitas Pelita Harapan, offered an economic perspective by highlighting that stock investment is not merely a means to gain personal profit but also a way to promote collective welfare and advance social justice within the community. 

As a conclusion to the webinar, it was underlined that financial literacy is an essential aspect of achieving better quality of life and overall well-being. Sound financial literacy enables individuals to make wiser financial decisions and move closer to a sustainable and prosperous life. However, financial literacy cannot stand alone—it must be integrated with proper knowledge and faith, particularly in the area of financial management, so that the use of money and blessings can be both responsible and a source of good for others.
