Mohammed Bin Rashid Library

Launched in 2014 our library's primary goal is to stimulate a passion for knowledge among all those living in the United Arab Emirates, in particular among young people. We actively support and encourage reading, research, creativity and entrepreneurship by providing free access to an outstanding range of books and other knowledge resources, quality information services and our event calendar.

We play an important and increasing role in the preservation of Arabic literature, culture and heritage. We do this by ensuring public access to Arabic literary works, both modern and rare old texts, helping to encourage and support young Arabic writers and via our Arabic language publishing programme.

The Mohammed Bin Rashid Library is comprised of ten main library collections: The General Library, Young Adult Library, Children's Library, Information Centre, Map and Atlas Library, Media and Arts Library, Business Library, Emirates Library, Periodicals Library and a Special Collections Library. In addition to physical collections, our library provides access to a wide variety of ebooks and other digital media.

Our audio book library is a fantastic resource for everyone and especially useful to the visually impaired or those with reading difficulties. In addition, we are developing a range of Braille books for the blind.
