His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Muhammad Al Qasimi, Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Sharjah, has allocated AED4.5 million to purchase the latest publications of the participating publishers at the 37th Sharjah International Book Fair (SIBF 2018).

His Highness’ directives are aimed  at ensuring that public and governmental libraries in the Emirate of Sharjah are provided with knowledge and academic content, and are equipped with the latest production of Arabic and international publishing houses in the fields of history, literature, politics, arts and other branches of knowledge, as Sharjah libraries constitute a reference to researchers, educated and specialists as well as students and all those interested in the knowledge, not only at the level of the emirate, but also the wider UAE.
