Dubai Central Library is a library to be built in Al Mamzar locality of Dubai, UAE. The library is expected to contain more than 1.7 million books. The unique design of the library is inspired by the shape of a Turkish lectern. The main features of this library will be, a conference centre, exhibition spaces, children's library, bookshop on the ground floor reading halls, service areas, business library, and training halls.The basement of the library will be able to accommodate as many as 1,000 cars.
The project is currently in design process, with the construction is expected to begin later this year and the library will be completed by the end of next year.300,000 to 400,000 volumes will be available in the library's open-access section. The library will have Book handling and information systems. Library has been designed by consortium of 'asp' Architekten Stuttgart, Obermeyer Planen+Beraten Munich and ACG Architecture Consulting Group. In the meantime options are discussed of relocating the building site from the initially proposed location at Lake Al-Mamzar to the prestigious Business Bay in downtown Dubai which indeed would be a suitable location for a cultural institution of this scale.
