Any Public Libraries and branches

Hello

Are there any public libraries in Doha (or Wakra, where I am staying now)? We would like to visit one if there is.

I saw from the Marhaba that there is one at the Books Roundabout, as well as other branches.

Can anyone enlighten where are the other branches? And the operating hours? Is the library open to tourists, not for borrowing, but just to visit?

Thanks!

In the newspaper a while back there was an article on a very large new library shared by all the universities that was just opening up to the public. It sounded quite nice.

Many of the schools allow community members to use their library. Call your kids school and ask. The library at Education City is huge and is open to the public.

I'd love to know too! The French library sounds great, they have DVD's for kids etc. Would love to know of something similar in English.
