Doha: Two librarians at Qatar National Library (QNL), a member of Qatar Foundation, recently completed a two-year leadership course to improve their librarianship skills and knowledge through the International Network of Emerging Library Innovators - MENA program (INELI-MENA).
Abeer Saad Al Kuwari, Research and Learning Director, QNL, and Amal Al Shammari, Information Services Librarian, QNL, were selected through a competitive process for the opportunity to become future library and information services leaders.
Participants in the program attended sessions in Germany and Egypt, where they worked on collaborative projects, identified issues and challenges facing public libraries in the Arab region, learned about the functioning of public libraries in developed countries, and discussed the possibility of applying unified Arab standards in public libraries.
The program also included library visits in Berlin and Hamburg, Germany.
Al Kuwari's group's final project, on establishing a ‘Human Library', was awarded second place among the program participants.
