Brigadier Al Ketbi revealed the department’s determination to implement the initiative across all of its service centers in Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and the Western Region. He noted that the library allows customers to read while waiting at the center, in a bid to expand their knowledge base, and help them acquire the valuable information included in the publications.

This approach stems from our firm belief that reading is an essential component to ensure the progress and development of humans, to promote building, order and modernization.

This would help us reach the desired creativity in all fields of knowledge.”
