Hi there,

Does anyone know of an english childrens library in Doha. I have a two year old son and we joined the British Councils library which is great but is set to close shortly.

I dont know why its going to close, the librarian was vague about it only said that its going to be a reference library only. This week is the last time we could check books out. It's mainly going to cater for their english learners.
