I recently visited the newly opened Culture House public library, an initiative by the Libraries Commission and Riyadh municipality.

The library is part of the King Salman Science Oasis project in Al-Ta’awun neighborhood, and it exceeded my expectations.

Before visiting, I was aware that I needed to book a time for my preferred section. This is an important detail to note, as you must have a reservation to access any area of the library.

Upon arrival, I easily scanned a QR code, filled in my name and phone number, and waited just 10 minutes for my tour.

The staff at the library were exceptional; the representative who guided me was friendly and informative and made the experience more enjoyable.
