Zakaria Al Hagar, Senior Library Specialist, Lusail University, Qatar
The role of libraries is no longer restricted to technical operations and providing a calm environment. It has expanded to include community activities, which change attitudes and mindsets and contribute to positive change.
A novel approach to the new role of libraries is advocating for sport and promoting sports culture among various segments of society. Given libraries are a community environment, their responsibility in building a healthy and sporting society has become more important.
Offering deep insights into the interrelationship between the library, society and sport, this presentation will discuss the following:
• Models of activities for outreach programs to promote sports at Qatari libraries.
• Libraries specialized in sport and their role in building sports awareness
• FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™: An opportunity to engage in community programs that advocate sports.
