Umm Suqeim Library

I’m from China and after running Walk through this library, here was really Nice stay to read English books. From entrance Here 2 separate libraries,on the right side is English/Arabic books, on the other side is Arabic only . Kindly notice SATURDAY no open.🙅 Wifi and private reading room offer great !👍 Front desk very kinder to guide.👍

A really nice library with variety of books and working areas. Well maintained

Old books collection but good quantities to choose from different genre. There are small rooms for meeting (reservation required) and solo tables with chair big enough for laptop, books, bag (no reservation required) also the adapater for charging port is readily available in the security (but just dont forget to return) , wifi speed is fast and restroom is very clean. There is also free refillable tea and water. Comfortable to study and stay. If you are commuting very accessible because outside the building is a airconed bus stop and lots of restaurant around the area. Very good location 👍🏻

I loved this place. I took my kids to study there and took the study room. The workers are amazing and polite and very helpful and patient.

The English collection at this branch was underwhelming. There was only a meagre aisle of classics and recent titles(more of the old than the new). I guess it makes sense cuz it's just a small library, yet they've managed to include Arabic titles, English ones, educational, design and reference books with a section for computers, plus study desks. The staff were warm and polite. They also had a feedback machine and another for book check outs. You have to register on a tablet at the front desk. Only locals and residents can borrow books. Oh, and they also had a 'New Arrivals' shelf, which I thought was a nice feature. All in all, not bad.

The library and staff are very polite and accommodative. The problem is with the library parking, it is intended for the library visitors, however, it’s always full and when you go to the library, the library is empty. People from outside the library park their cars for free and the library visitors are left paying 12 DHS per hour to go to library. Too shame, the library location is good.

Very quiet place where you can study or read. You can bring your own books or laptops, etc. The staff are very friendly. Not a big variety of books, though. I recommend it if you want to concentrate.
