Sharjah Public Library Launches ‘Digital Public Library’

Sharjah Public Library (SPL), a subsidiary of Sharjah Book Authority (SBA), has launched the ‘Digital Public Library.’ The initiative aims to bring together all cultural items held in Sharjah’s libraries, museums, heritage sites and other state departments and make them available to a larger segment of readers, researchers and book lovers from around the world.

The project, which was announced during SPL’s participation in the 36th edition of Sharjah International Book Fair, seeks to provide free access to digital holdings through the establishment of a large-scale digital public library that will be a key search engine for the public holdings of libraries, museums and other cultural heritage institutions in the UAE and in particular, Sharjah.
