Dubai Culture and Arts Authority, Dubai Culture, is celebrating the success of the Dubai Public Library’s first 2017 educational initiatives, which took place at Al Twar, Al Rashidiya and Al Mankhool Public Libraries during the early weeks of the year.
The activities attracted 436 participants, including children, young adults and adults, and strengthened the role the library plays within the community by demonstrating its importance for spreading diverse knowledge.
Commenting on the initiatives, Fahad Al Mamari, Director of Dubai Public Library at Dubai Culture, said, "Dubai Public Library has welcomed in 2017 with a range of educational activities, which support the National Strategy for Reading 2016-2026 by promoting positive reading habits from early childhood and encouraging all members of our society to visit the library. During the first weeks of 2017, our activities have attracted high numbers of participants and shown families and children how much our network has to offer – from book readings to photography sessions."
The Dubai Public Library network includes eight libraries for adults and another seven for children. A number of the branches feature multi-purpose halls, classrooms and exhibition spaces, and all branches of the Dubai Public Library are connected via computer systems. This has allowed the network to establish close links with other modern libraries across the world, providing access to vast sources of information on a diversity of topics in both Arabic and English.
