Is there a library in Doha? I am going insane with boredom and I need to read!

If there is a library, where is it?

Thanks.

To be fair, if you read the British Council website carefully, the library bit only refers to teaching materials and children's books. They had a good collection, but it was only being used by expat Brits, so they decided that their duty was to the local, ie Qatari, population, and got rid of the fiction library in order to focus on teaching and reference.

The collection went to the Doha Players, but was destroyed in the bomb attack.

A few book collections at clubs like Garveys, Sailing, Rugby, etc, but No library at the British Council, I'm afraid.

Have a look in the Image Gallery under 'Places' and you will find a picture of the Qatar National Library. Have a good look because it's the closest you're going to get to the real thing: its location is the best-kept secret in Doha.
