Dubai Culture: public libraries reopen across the emirate

Friday, 19 June 2020 09:17

Public libraries in Dubai will now be welcoming guests from 10:00 am until 5:00 pm.

That’s according to a decision made by Dubai Culture, which clarified that libraries will open six days a week except on Fridays.

The decision comes after facilities in the country were shut due to the COVID-19 outbreak.

Stringent health measures, in line with the government’s latest set of safety guidelines, will also be followed to ensure people’s well-being at all times.
