In keeping with World Book Day, the first branch of Maktaba, a-first-of-its-kind bookshop for children and young adults in the UAE, was inaugurated on Thursday in Al Qasba by Shaikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairperson of the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), Founder and CEO of Kalimat Group.
Maktaba is a bookshop that houses both a library and a cafe under the same roof. The first branch in Al Qasba will be followed by more branches across the UAE.
Maktaba's goal is to change the way future generations read.
Shaikha Bodour Al Qasimi said: "We want our children to have a better understanding of life and the world around them and to equip them to deal effectively with life's challenges."
Maktaba houses all the printed and electronic publications by Kalimat, Horouf and Rewayat. Visitors can read the books or use smart applications for free. The bookshop's cafe serves a selection of light dishes and both hot and cold drinks.
Maktaba will also host reading sessions, book signings, cultural competitions and entertaining evenings.
