Another Look at the Bibliotheca Alexandrina

Lee passed along 2 stories from Al-Ahrem on the Bibliotheca Alexandrina.

The resurrection and Bibliographic reference both look at different aspects of the library, and the people that surround it.

“After all, the Bibliotheca Alexandrina is not just a pretty building or merely a storehouse for books; the library resurrected — as stipulated in its mission — is “the world’s window on Egypt… Egypt’s window on the world… [and] Egypt’s leading cultural institution in dealing with the information revolution… [and] a centre for both learning and dialogue.”
