Qatar Reads, an initiative under Qatar National Library, is dedicated to promoting a culture of reading within Qatar. Our focus is to use the power of reading as a tool for knowledge-sharing, instilling values, fostering analytical thinking, and driving social progress through our various programs and reading campaigns.
Our goal is to ignite a nationwide movement that inspires people to read more and share their love and knowledge of books with others. To achieve this, we design programs and events that cater to a wide range of age groups and that meet the needs of all citizens living in Qatar.
