thank you Mr.Postmodernman. and Afeque..

I got the exact address, its at Al-Fardhan..

the public library system can be discovered at:

when there are restrictions on use as mentioned in this page, its hardly a public library though.

lots to be done in this area in qatar - actually it's almost shameful with the wealth here that there isn't a robust public library system. lots to be learned from the developements in this area in the uae.

many of the university libraries will let you go in a sit for the day and read their materials, but you can't borrow any.

there's also a massive new central library being planned at qatar foundation, but that is several years away.

the virgin bookstore almost feels like a remainders bookstore - the selection of books is pretty feeble. the cds dvds and electronics section are awesome.

i was moderately impressed by the craft books at the jarrir.

there was a pretty bizarre article in the paper a month or two ago about publishing and libraries in qatar. i don't think the journalist or the people interviewed knew much about modern publishing or libraries.

I think there is only one government library here and also not sure if they have books in other language than arabic.
