Past Events

Does your child enjoy reading to others? Do they enjoy retelling events in dramatic voices and making expressions with their faces? In the Little Storyteller program, your child will get the chance to learn how to read a story expressively firsthand by a professional storyteller. Children are encouraged to bring the book they wish to practice with and dress accordingly.

This session features exchanges of experiences from children’s school librarians in Qatar. These rich experiences came through years of study, research and practical work in school environments. We will also discuss policies to attract children to reading and ways to teach them how to choose the right books, in addition to how to balance virtual and live activities within libraries.

How do you search for a manuscript? How do you choose the correct historical manuscript for study or publishing? These are initial questions that come to the minds of students or researchers who embark on their journey of dealing with Islamic-Arabic manuscripts, either for editing and publishing, studying them physically (codicology and paleography) or artistically (arts of the book), or other disciplines of scholarship. Scholars and intellectuals interested in history, classical texts and intellectual heritage, and those who want to read primary sources in their original witnesses might be interested in the same questions.
