RIYADH: Saudi Arabia’s Libraries Commission will hold a webinar on Wednesday titled “Cultural houses: from serving the community to building it.”
The event will highlight the transformative role of cultural houses as a renewed model for public libraries, the Saudi Press Agency reported on Tuesday.
The session will examine the shift from traditional libraries focused on preserving and lending books to interactive knowledge platforms that empower individuals.
It will also explore how these platforms help build a participatory and productive community within the cultural movement, the SPA added.
The session will also showcase key programs and initiatives, including cultural clubs, workshops, volunteer activities, and community events that promote skill development and cultivate a culture of creativity and engagement.
