Qatar National Library (QNL) has planned a number of events for children this month, it was announced yesterday.

All members can benefit from a couple of events today that will introduce QNL’s wide range of collections, including a hands-on activity on how to use the catalogue to help users familiarise themselves on how to do their own searching efficiently.

On June 9, young Arabic readers will hear the story of one of Prophet Muhammad’s companions, a hero embodied with the virtues of strength, courage, patience, and the love of God and His Messenger.

Attendees can also take part in arts and crafts activities related to the companions of the Prophet, (peace be upon him). A Little Actors workshop is scheduled for June 20, where they will be introduced to the world of theatre through role-playing activities.

On June 22, ‘Mechanics: A STEM Activity for Teens’ will explore the scientific principles of cams and cranks, with the opportunity to build working models.

“The summer holiday is an excellent time for school-aged children to explore new areas of learning outside the classroom, and our events are designed to give them a fun, educational, hands-on experience in a creative and welcoming environment,” said Abeer al-Kuwari, director, research and learning services at QNL.

After Eid al-Fitr, QNL will offer an interactive workshop on environmental sustainability in Islam, which will address questions about sustainability, its importance, and how it fits with Islamic teachings.

On June 28, Dr Ayman Elyyan continues the QNL’s lecture series with ‘The New Media and Public Interaction with the News’, in which he will present the results of a study on the influences that control readers during their interaction with the news press. Both events will be in Arabic.
