A delegation from the Dubai Judicial Council, led by Dr. Saif Ghanem Al Suwaidi, Secretary-General of the Dubai Judicial Council, visited the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library (MBRL) today to learn more about the top services, amenities, and specialised legal books and resources the library offers for researchers and legal professionals. The delegation also reviewed the potential for bilateral cooperation in related areas, such as initiatives to educate people about their rights and obligations in the UAE.
His Excellency Mohammad Ahmad Al Murr, Chairman of the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Library Foundation, welcomed the delegation and reaffirmed the Library’s leading position in promoting legal awareness by offering a distinctive selection of books, references, periodicals, and encyclopaedias to enrich the knowledge of all visitors and members, particularly lawyers, students, and legal scholars.
The team was given a thorough rundown of all of MBRL’s facilities, services, and libraries during the visit, as well as a tour of the UAE photography exhibition, a fascinating journey that charts the UAE’s cultural, political, and social growth over the previous fifty years. A collection of spectacular ancient and rare books, atlases, and manuscripts, some of which date back to the 13th century, are on show at the Treasures of the Library exhibition, which the delegation also went to. During the visit, attendees received a briefing on the Library’s designated rooms for meetings, lectures, festival organisation, local and international film screenings, theatrical productions, and music concerts.
The group was also briefed on the state-of-the-art technologies used by MBRL and its full schedule of year-round activities that unite all facets of society. The Library has developed into a desirable location for high-level event planners as a result of its first-rate amenities and services.
The visit also highlighted MBRL’s significant efforts to support competitive education in society and preserve cultural legacy for future generations.
The Dubai Judicial Council delegation also praised the Library for its promising work in promoting awareness of personal rights and responsibilities as well as enhancing legal knowledge for specialised scholars and practitioners, taking into account the UAE’s multicultural society, which is made up of more than 200 different nationalities. A key step toward ensuring a better future for future generations and in line with the UAE’s wise leadership’s vision for the next fifty years, the delegation also addressed potential collaboration opportunities with Mohammed Bin Rashid Library. The delegation had a remembrance photo taken with representatives from Mohammed Bin Rashid Library to mark the end of their tour.
One of the most remarkable structures in the Middle East is the Mohammed Bin Rashid Library, which was constructed over more than 500,000 square feet of land and floor space. Its architectural design was influenced by “The Rehl,” a traditional X-shaped lectern used throughout the Islamic world. With the use of holograms, smart robotics, augmented reality, and artificial intelligence technologies, The Library is one of the most technologically advanced libraries in the world.
