Cost to build = BHD 27 million. Membership = BHD 2 for 2 years. Copy Machine Card = BHD 2 for 100 copies. I visit this library daily. If you ever get there on time, and they're open, you'll feel good because the atmosphere is great. Nice, staff, a huge chandelier in the lobby. Looks beautiful and expensive and like all things in the Gulf, fancy from the outside, and passable from the inside. Not a wide variety of books, but if you ever need a place to quietly sit down and study, this is it. First two floors have very large book halls, and the foreign books is on the first floor. Sh Abdulla also has a specific section containing his personal library, which you can't borrow from, you can only read there. They even had a special reading-room for his books, but since the library is empty most of the time, they converted that room into office space. I used to use it as my own personal talking room whenever I get phone calls. The second floor contains computers, and private study rooms, as well as a bookable lecture hall. Costs vary depending on the facilities required. No wifi, but each table has an two electric sockets and an internet cable inlet. Book halls also have internet-connected PCs to search for their book collection and browse the net. No cafeteria, so if you intend on spending a long time there, you might get peckish, so bring along some snacks. They do provide water-coolers though. Basement has kids section, and I just visited that place once. Very colorful place. No comment.

The Isa Cultural Centre in Bahrain. However, the Isa Cultural Centre is a prominent cultural institution in Bahrain that promotes art, history, and heritage. It hosts various exhibitions, performances, and educational programs to showcase the rich cultural heritage of Bahrain and the broader Arab world. Visitors have praised the centre for its architectural beauty and the diverse range of cultural events it offers. If you're interested in exploring Bahrain's cultural scene, the Isa Cultural Centre is definitely worth a visit! 🕌🎭🎨

Very organize , Staff very helpful , papers copy service available 100 Pages for 2 BD , Wifi Service NOT Applicant ..

Outdated books, no community events, not a standard of a national library at all. It closes early and the staff is adamant on ignoring people by acting to be so busy with playing on their phones. I'm a librarian with 3 years of experience of working at a US public library, and the standards in this library is very low. I doubt the librarians even have an accredited library degree, but what to do, this is Bahrain! Expect low standards and you shall not be disappointed:)

Located next to the Al Fateh Grand Mosque, Isa Culture Center has a large library with a separate section for Children as well. It is good for student or individuals / Group looking for a place to study or work in a quite place. Open Sunday to Thursday from 7 am to 6 pm.

I love how it is facilitated. The staff are nice. I just hope it was a 24H place

A very great and quiet place to get your work done. Clean, Wide spaces, Well-lit, and free. You can have a private study room! Seatings are comfortable and there are vending machines in the place. However, they need to be more strict regarding making it a “quite” place (people were using phones frequently), and to have parkings next to the center.

This place is great for studing,, it has great lighting and comfortable study desks. They have "the american corner" section, allows any user to access USA e-Library for free to access any source of books , articles and audiobooks. they also provide IETLS and TOEFL sources. It also has a copy center, internet access and study rooms. I highly recommend this pace for research or study.

Bad timing for public library! From 7:30 to 2!

ITS A BIG PLACE BUT DIDNT REALLY SAW WHAT WAS INSIDE OF IT.. I AM A DOCTOR SO I WENT AND TOOK MY TROPHY AND WENT OUT.. NOTHING IMPRESSIVE REALLY.. AND TOOK SOME PICTURES WITH MY COLLEAGUES AS WELL.. MAYBE IN THE FUTURE WILL SEE MORE THINGS AND CHANGE MY STATEMENT..

Good for studying and quiet reading. WiFi is available as well as computers

The Best Place To Worship With Loads Of Islamic Books And Scholars To Help. Alhumdeallah

A quiet and pleasant place to look at books and resources, whether it is for scientific research or reading. The staff working in the library and the center is cooperative and cheerful, and they welcome all visitors.

The Al-Fateh Mosque is one of the largest mosques in the world, encompassing 6,500 square meters and having the capacity to accommodate over 7,000 worshippers at a time. The mosque was built by the late Sheikh Isa bin Salman Al Khalifa in 1987 and was named after Ahmed Al Fateh.

A large, classy national library with a fair-sized collection of English language books. The librarians are friendly.

More then I expected 😉

Nice place , so quiet, people there are helpful and friendly

ok

I like the place and the staff are nice ..the books are outdated and there isn't any serious activity for kids like drawing or Caligraphy...also for elderly people, there isn't any activity or lecture which really is helpful. The working hours are not suitable for any body ,Every time I write my suggestions and submit them but nobody cares. We have a passion to read books, and learn new skills, but you are not giving us the atmosphere that attracts us ...sorry to say that but because I really care...the ugly truth is better than a beautiful lie
