It’s a bird photography exhibition entitled: Wings of Qatar! It’s an extraordinary photography of birds life in Qatar, featuring the unseen beauty if Qatar. It is organized by Doha Kottam, a group of nature photographers actively involved in conducting natural and environmental events such as natural camps, photography workshops, exhibitions and natural trips within Qatar.

The Library selected the theme of the birds, for its first exhibition to introduce to its public a different theme combining environment, photography and most important highlighting the ecological treasure in Qatar with 120 photo frames showing the beauty and uniqueness of every specie. It’s a first of a series of exhibitions the Library will undertake during this academic year.

This Exhibition was meant to be inaugurated last June on the World Environmental day, but due to the final exams calendar, we thought better to postpone it till the beginning of the term, to have it visited by as many guests and students from QU and outside QU.

The new Library hosted its first book signing event with Dr. Ezzeldin Abulaish author of “I Shall Not Hate”. The book was published into Arabic, and Dr. Abulaish came from Toronto to promote the book. The event was in collaboration with Bloomsbury Publishers Qatar Foundation, Al-Fakhoura and Qatar University.

QU library, in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, celebrated the World Book Day event on (April 22^nd 23^rd and 24^th) through a variety of activities and workshops, and the ending day ceremony was on May 15^th 2012 where winners of the April workshops were honored with prices.

More than 25 schools participated in the event, and workshops were designed to fit the primary, complementary and secondary school students, in addition to Qatar University students.
