QATAR National Library (QNL) recently contributed to the Kahramaa Awareness Park (KAP) with a library collection dedicated to school students aged six to 17, consisting of approximately 500 books.
The contribution was made as part of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) recently signed between the two organisations. The agreement will also see QNL providing e-resources registration for KAP users and training services for KAP librarians, as well as conducting joint library programmes in the KAP.
Hind al Khulaifi, head of Children's Services at QNL, said:"QNL's contribution to the Kahramaa Awareness Park further enhances our commitment to promoting a love of reading in Qatar and to the development of children and youth throughout the country."
Engineer Saadi al Said, director of Administration and Planning at QNL, said:"QNL's efforts in cooperating with local organisations aim to enhance learning opportunities in Qatar and to provide free resources to our country's diverse communities. We also believe that together both organisations will contribute greatly to creating a knowledge-based society in Qatar."
The Kahramaa Awareness Park, part of Qatar General Electricity and Water Corporation (Kahramaa), is a high-end educational facility established to achieve the objectives of the National Program for Conservation and Energy Efficiency (Tarsheed) and to serve as a platform for educating young people about the importance of conserving energy consumption. This reflects Kahramaa's concern to mobilise its community outreach efforts to ensure awareness based on innovation and creativity.
Engineer Abdul Aziz Ahmed al Hammadi, Conservation and Energy Efficiency Department Manager at Kahramaa, said:"The Conservation and Energy Efficiency Department seeks to achieve further success and progress through Tarsheed, launched by Kahramaa in 2012. The programme aims to raise awareness, encourage technologies and develop legislation and regulations relating to conservation, energy efficiency and renewable energy in Qatar, while considering the socioeconomic growth and environmental dimension to ensure sustainable development and welfare for citizens and residents."Hammadi added,"This MoU with Qatar National Library will further help raise awareness about energy conservation through sharing research experiences, leveraging QNL's vast world-class knowledge resources and meeting the program's outreach and community development mandate."
