King Fahd National Library aims to boost international cooperation

The King Fahd National Library has joined the International Federation of Libraries and Institutions for 2022. The federation consists of 1,600 members from 150 countries around the world.
Dr. Mansour bin Abdullah Al-Zamil, secretary of the KFNL, pointed out that joining the federation is the culmination of the library’s efforts in strengthening international cooperation, which would not have been possible without the continuous support from the Saudi leadership.
Al-Zamil stressed that by joining the federation, the library will be able to share knowledge, experiences, standards and methods of work and keep pace with global developments, in addition to actively participating in meetings, seminars, workshops and conferences.

The federation is the leading international body representing the interests of libraries, information facilities and their users.  

It has observer status with the World Intellectual Property Organization and associate status with the International Council of Scientific Unions.
The federation is also a member of the International Council on Archives, the International Council of Museums, the International Council on Monuments and Sites and the International Committee of the Blue Shield.
