Assabil

Overview

ASSABIL Association (ASSABIL) is a non-governmental organization founded in 1997 to establish and promote public libraries and open cultural spaces in Lebanon. By creating public spaces for reading and culture - non-sectarian spaces of exchange that are open to all - ASSABIL vowed to fill a void following the Lebanese Civil War, thus responding to a ‘social necessity’.

The first municipal public library of Beirut opened its doors in 2000 in Bachoura, surrounded by some 20 public schools located within 10 minutes walking distance. It was followed by the opening of libraries in Geitawi (2004) and Monot (2008), as well as the launch of the mobile libraries, Kotobus, in 2008 serving mainly public schools and non-formal education centers in need in remote areas.
