Qatar National Library was the first public library in the Gulf region, founded on 29 December 1962, and based on Qatar’s tradition of Dar Al Kutub.
It will serve everybody from world-class researchers looking for highly-specialized scientific articles, to the general public who enjoy listening to music or watching videos. The new Qatar National Library building in Qatar Foundation, designed by Rem Koolhaas, will open in 2014.
