A significant renovation of Saudi Arabia's libraries will entail the construction of public theaters and other cultural facilities.
Since the start of a national growth strategy in 2021, the Libraries Commission has been revamping the Kingdom's libraries, according to the Saudi Press Agency.
A sorting and inventory effort for information resources is one component of the plan. Training rooms and event spaces will be additional facilities.
In order to better enable their preservation, retrieval, and usage, the inventory project requires moving information resources to digital systems.
Organizing events and activities to increase literacy, enhance reading habits, and broaden knowledge is one of the initiatives.
Workshops on information literacy, kid- and youth-friendly games, national youth contests, and the introduction of National Libraries Day are some of the events that will take place.
