The National Library of Aleppo ((アラビア語:دار الكتب الوطنية)) is a Syrian national library in the northern city of Aleppo. It was opened in 1924, at the Islamic awqaf department in Khan al-Jumrok. ==History== In 1924, a decision to open a national library in Aleppo was passed by the central government in Damascus to become a branch of the Arab Scientific Academy. Sheikh ''Kamel al-Ghazzi'' became the first director of the library. In 1937, the construction of the new library building was set in the Bab al-Faraj square, adjacent to the famous clock tower. The construction was completed in 1939. The inauguration of the new library building was delayed due to the circumstances during the World War II. Finally, on 4 December 1945, the new building was opened by the efforts of the Aleppo governor prince Mustafa al-Shihabi, with a collection of 6,000 books.〔(National Library of Aleppo )〕 The library remained under the administration of the Aleppo municipality until 1954 when the building was redeveloped and became under the direct administration of the Syrian Ministry of Culture.〔(Aleppo Library, one of the oldest libraries in the Arab world )〕 Currently, the library contains a collection of 100,000 books. The building has a small theatre hall with 300 seats. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「National Library of Aleppo」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
