MOHAMMED BIN RASHID LIBRARY

About Mohammed Bin Rashid Library

More than 4.5 million volumes, 1 million audiobooks, and 2 million eBooks will be housed at the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library. The different collections housed inside its walls will help to bring intellectuals and thinkers together, as well as encourage youngsters to read. It is supported by six pillars, each of which contributes to the project's specific objectives:

1. Business, Multimedia, Children, Youth, Family, Arabic, Popular, and International genres are all represented in the first pillar.

2. The second pillar emphasises the importance of reading as a habit.

3. The third pillar is made up of a wide range of eBooks.

4. The fourth pillar approves new books and provides Arabic translations of popular titles from throughout the world.

5. The preservation of the Arabic language will be the focus of the fifth pillar.

6. The sixth and final pillar will help to preserve and exhibit cultural history as well as Arabic art.

The library would reportedly include a museum dedicated to preserving Arab cultural heritage as well as human civilization in general. It will also serve as the headquarters of the International Council for the Arabic Language, which aims to conserve the Arabic language. It will also release the Mohammed bin Rashid Contemporary Arabic Language Dictionary, which will make studying Arabic more accessible to expats and international citizens.
