An interesting experience awaits your child at the Children library…..

With eye-catching designs, the best books for kids, and impressive community programming, the  children’s libraries at the Dubai Public libraries stand out as something magical. My kids visit the library and they are always thrilled to enter a world of magic.

What you will like about it is the fact that Customers are the highest priority for the Dubai Public Library. Since its inception, the Dubai Public Library has worked to evolve and improve the high quality and wide variety of services we offer. Over the years, they have developed a wide variety of tools and techniques to ensure the library network delivers a range of services that meet, and in many cases exceed, our visitors’ expectations.

We all know that childhood is the most important stage in the development of an individual’s personality. The Dubai Public Library pays special attention to encouraging a habit of reading among children, helping develop their talents and understanding of the world around them, as well as sparking their imaginations.

To achieve this, most of Dubai Public Library branches throughout the Emirate have a dedicated children’s library. By ensuring that they understand what children want and need, we have created bright, spacious children’s libraries that encourage children to enjoy their time there. Our children’s libraries also contain reading and activities rooms, as well as areas for computer and audiovisual materials.

The Dubai Public Library firmly believes in the importance of reading books, and the role of parents reading to them, in the development and refinement of a child’s personal identity, as well as stimulating their natural instinctive curiosity for knowledge and learning. So they continuously update the Children’s Library resources in order to provide a rich and varied selection of interesting library materials aimed at the children and young people who make up a high percentage of their audience. These materials include large collections of books on diverse subjects that are appropriate for children of different age groups. These books not only entertain, but also help children expand their imaginations and develop unique perspectives on different social, cultural and religious issues.

In addition to the basic services such as borrowing and reference service, the Children’s Library aims to provide a range of activities that include:Selected storytelling.

Cultural and educational movies.

Drawing competitions and workshops.

Cultural competitions and incentives.

Seminars and lectures for children.

Organising trips and visits for children.

Organisation of training courses and programmes.

Providing special services for disabled children.

There’s nowhere I’d rather spend time than in a library. I was lucky enough to grow up with a family that regularly took me to the library as a kid, and I do believe that helped me grow up. One of the (many) things I love is when a library makes smart, creative use of space for their children’s areas

Early childhood is a period, in which learning starts to develop in a significant and permanent way. Studies conducted in the area of education indicate the environment and the experiences of children apart from developmental factors to be influential on learning as well. Children’s libraries have a special responsibility to support the process of learning to read and to give children access to all media. They empower children and advocate for their freedom and safety. They encourage children to become confident and competent people.One of the convenient environments for the advancement of language development skills is Children’s Libraries. Constitution of services, materials, books, publications and special library programs, which can combine all these in a proper way and present to the child, confront us as an important necessity for raising individuals, who have a liking and a responsibility of reading with a positive library environment. 

I’ve always understood the value of a library. but in today’s current climate of untruths, intolerance, and ignorance, it’s becoming clear that libraries are essential, now more than ever.Libraries truly are remarkable places, and in today’s world, we need them now more than ever.
