The House of Wisdom is Sharjah’s new state-of-the-art public library, which opened to the public in December 2020. It is a symbol of Sharjah’s commitment to cultural heritage preservation following its selection by UNESCO as the host city for World Book Capital in April 2019. The modern landmark features 15 spacious lobbies and halls that are home to 305,000 books, 200,000 of which are in digital format and 11,000 of which are written in multiple languages. It is a library for all ages with ‘The Little Reader’ area dedicated to children and packed with some 2,000 books. houseofwisdom.ae
