Egypt’s Minister of Culture, Ahmed Fouad Hanno, inaugurated the “Noon El-Sahar 2” public library in Cairo on Sunday, ordering the facility to be immediately equipped with Braille publications to mark World Braille Day. The “Noon El-Sahar 2” public library in Zahraa El-Maadi was developed through a partnership between the Ministry of Culture, Cairo Governorate, the Maxim Charity for Development and Services, and the National Roads Company. It features a general library hall and four specialised areas: the Noon El-Sahar Cultural Salon, a training hall, an activity hall, and a computer laboratory for training programmes. Governor Ibrahim Saber said the high demand for the first Noon El-Sahar branch at the Shinzo Abe axis in Nasr City prompted the expansion into Zahraa El-Maadi. The library operates under the technical supervision of the Misr Public Library, headed by Ambassador Abdel Raouf El-Reedy.
