The roof is covered with north facing skylights, which avoids damage to the books from direct sunlight. The building also houses a cultural centre, conference centre, museums, art galleries and a planetarium. The library can hold 8 million books and its reading room overs 20,000 m2. It commemorates the original Great Library of Alexandria, founded 3rd century BC. Picture by Manuel Cohen
