The philosophy of librarianship involves upholding core values such as intellectual freedom, equitable access to information, privacy protection, and diversity in collections and services. Librarians strive to serve as unbiased information intermediaries, promoting literacy, education, and lifelong learning while advocating for the public good. Central to their philosophy is the belief in the inherent worth and dignity of all individuals and their right to access information and pursue knowledge.

The Malayalam meaning of the word "philosophy" is "ദര്ശനം" (darsanam).
The term "philosophy" originates from the Greek words "philo," meaning love, and "sophia," meaning wisdom. Therefore, philosophy can be understood as the love of wisdom.
