Love reading? Why not join a Meetup group in the year of reading to engage with other bookies, library champions and literacy lovers?
Meetup is a great social media tool that is designed to build communities sharing the same interest. There are over 20 different groups which focus solely on literacy, books, writing, illustrating and publishing.
The Abu Dhabi Librarians Meetup Group is a unique group of librarians and library champions that is organized by the Abu Dhabi Librarians Network. The meetup is an informal network of professional librarians, educators and library supporters who are interested in connecting throughout Abu Dhabi, Dubai and across the UAE. We don’t limit our group to librarians, but also invite educators and anyone involved in any aspect of literacy.
We currently meet in various locations, including museums, restaurants, libraries…in fact anywhere with a literary connection. We try to meet every other month to network, socialize and welcome new librarians to the area. We look for fun ways to meet up and also hold our own events such as socials and quiz nights. As a group we’ve attended the Abu Dhabi International Book Fair, the Emirates Literature Festival and have also visited museums and libraries. We have an upcoming visit to the Juma Al Majid Centre in Dubai to see their book restoration operations.
Interested? Join the Abu Dhabi Librarians MeetUp group!
