The library has 54,000 square metre space and makes up seven floors.

Mohammed Bin Rashid Library official Instagram shared a glimpse of the anticipated library.

You can expect 9 specialised libraries inside the space ‘where you can enjoy reading and nurture your creativity.’

There will be a general library space, a young adults library, a (colourful) children’s library, a library dedicated to maps and atlases, a media and art library, a business library, an Emirates library, a periodicals library and one titled ‘Treasure of the Library’.
