December 19, 2008: Cultural Center & Library Opens in Bahrain
"The imposing Shaikh Isa National Library will operate under the umbrella of the cultural centre and is part of a regional push to celebrate Arab culture."
"A grand foyer fitted with a magnificent chandelier and patterned marble floors are an impressive reminder of the 7,000 square metres of sprawling library space and its accompanying facility. The library comprises five floors, two of which are in the basement."
