[Dubai Public Library and Public Libraries in the Emirate of Dubai Statistics for 2008]

Abstract

This item presents concise statistics for Dubai Public Library and the public libraries administered by Dubai Municipality in 2008, through two main tables issued by the Public Libraries Department. The first table shows registered members of public libraries by branch, including Al Mizhar, Hor Al Anz, Al Rashidiya, Al Safa, Umm Suqeim, Jumeirah, and Al Twar libraries, with distinctions among membership or user categories. The second table presents the number of visitors and registered members of public libraries in the Emirate of Dubai, offering quantitative indicators of library use and service reach. The value of this record lies in providing an overall statistical picture of Dubai’s public library network, supporting the measurement of service demand, membership trends, and library performance indicators within cultural and public service planning.
