Due to heavy rains that started on early Sunday morning, the UAE government declared work-from-home for the federal staff as well as public and private sector schools. The government also asked the private sector companies to allow staff to work from home due to weather conditions. This resulted in much less traffic on the roads on Monday and Tuesday.
Built in the shape of a rehl, the traditional wooden bookrest used to hold the Quran, the library building overlooks Dubai Creek. Its 7-story structure houses Dubai's most ambitious cultural initiative to date, establishing a lighthouse of knowledge, culture and creativity to grow a collection by acquiring millions of books from around the world.
The Library is comprised of 10 main library collections: The General Library, Young Adult Library, Children's Library, Information Centre, Map and Atlas Library, Media and Arts Library, Business Library, Emirates Library, Periodicals Library and a Special Collections Library.
“The Mohammed bin Rashid Library will reopen its doors and welcome you on Wednesday, February 14, 2024,” it said.
