Bibliotheca Alexandrina is a major library institution based in Alexandria, Egypt, established to recapture the spirit of openness and scholarship associated with the ancient Library of Alexandria. It aims to be a center of excellence for producing and disseminating knowledge and a place of dialogue, learning, and understanding between cultures and peoples. The library frames its mission around four goals that position it as Egypt's window to the world and the world's window on Egypt, while also serving as a leading institution of the digital age and a hub for learning and tolerance. In 2026 it expanded international collaborations, including a planned partnership with the Arab Publishers Association and the organization of the 21st International Book Fair from July 6 to 20, 2026, in collaboration with the General Egyptian Book Organization and the Egyptian and Arab Publishers Association. The Bibliotheca Alexandrina maintains active engagement through conferences, curriculum development, and cultural events with regional and international partners, reflecting its role as a forum for knowledge production and cross-cultural dialogue.
