Qatar National Library (QNL) has organized a diverse array of interactive activities during the summer break, with the Summer Camp initiative taking center stage in August offerings.

From interactive storytelling sessions to hands-on STEM activities and a deep dive into Gulf history, QNL engages the community with enriching experiences for all ages.

Running from Aug. 1 to 29, the camp offers 14 engaging bilingual sessions in Arabic and English devoted to various age groups.

Storytime for Children returns with four sessions on Aug. 4, 11, and 18, designed for children ages seven to 14, with the intention of sparking imagination and inculcating the love of reading in children and young adults.

On Aug. 5, 12, 19, and 26, QNL hosts “Make with Me” workshops to encourage children and young adults ages nine to 17 to participate in hands-on arts and crafts activities designed to promote creativity and self-expression.

For young science enthusiasts, QNL offers six STEM sessions on Aug. 6, 13, 14, 20, 21, and 27, covering topics in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics, devoted to participants ages seven to 17.

In addition, QNL continues to organize the Gulf History Lecture Series event, “How Archaeology Revealed the History of the Gulf, Cases from Qatar and Bahrain,” slated for Aug. 6.

The lecture will explore how archaeological research sheds light on the region’s past, offering insights often absent from written records.

Case studies from Qatar and Bahrain will illustrate how settlement patterns evolved over time and how Gulf societies were shaped by their maritime environment.

The QNL’s Murshidi Program returns with two sessions on Aug. 23 and 30. The initiative supports high school and university students by connecting them with mentors who offer personalized guidance on university applications, scholarships, and career planning.
