Abu Dhabi Tourism and Culture Authority (
TCA Abu Dhabi) opened a permanent exhibition of National Library publications. Housed in the National Library’s Al Nahyan Camp headquarters, the exhibition features titles from all TCA Abu Dhabi’s publishing projects, including print and audio books and encyclopaedic works.
National Library publications include books on literature, heritage and various scientific disciplines, both in Arabic and English. These resources have been published through a range of initiatives such as the Kalima translation project, which leads the way in the translation of classical and modern books from a choice of world languages into Arabic; the Qalam project, which fosters local literary talent in the United Arab Emirates by publishing their work and translating it into other languages; and the Poetry Academy, which puts out poetry collections as well as research, critical and documentary studies.
Besides promoting reading and offering book loan options, the permanent exhibition sells books at reasonable prices. National Library products are already on sale at 125 retail points across the UAE and in more than 500 others retail points internationally.
