History of the National Central Library
The history of the establishment of the central library dates back to the desire of citizens to express their feelings of loyalty and love to the custodian of the Two Holy Mosques King Fahd at that time, and this by creating a commemorative monument when the government was born in 1402 Hijri and accordingly they have now decided on the idea of creating the library project at their own expense but with the support of the government as well.
The Central Library building was constructed with three higher levels and a bottom floor covered by a planetarium distinguished by luxury and splendor of design, as the entire library was designed in a modern manner, and it is also embellished with marble inscriptions and Arabic patterns.
The most important thing that distinguishes the Central Library is its wonderful strategic location, as it was established between King Fahd Road on the western side and Al Olaya Street on the eastern side, which makes it easy to access simply and smoothly, in addition to the prominence and clarity of the place
The Fahd Central Library is located right in the middle of Riyadh, making it one of the city's most distinctive features, and it is equipped with waiting and resting areas. The construction of the library began and was completed in 1406 Hijri, under the supervision and patronage of the Riyadh city secretariat, to begin full-time planning for the development, organization, and preparation of the library, as well as the laying of the foundation stone for the technical and administrative staff.
Since 1409, the foundation, equipment, and construction of the Central Library have been carried out, and the Central Library has been able to accomplish many successful achievements since its opening in a short period.
