Qatar National Library recently presented a ‘Ramadan Word Search Challenge’ for young adults aged 12-18 years, the first event in a series to be held throughout the month. Participants were encouraged to test their knowledge on various aspects of Ramadan during the fast-paced word search. The event was held in the spirit of friendly competition and, in keeping with Islamic tradition, encouraged youth to socialise with each other, the library said in a statement. During May, which has also seen the start of the holy month of Ramadan, the library’s programme of events, exhibitions and talks is focusing on the theme of faith.
Virgilio J R Medina, Information Services librarian at the library, said: “The library encourages youth from our community to learn and be reminded of important aspects of Ramadan through a fun experience. During the holy month, the library also presents many other such opportunities for everyone to visit the library and spend time with fellow visitors and engage in useful conversations.” Young adults are encouraged to take part in the next ‘Ramadan Word Search Challenge’, which takes place at the library on May 16, 18, 23 and 25.
