National Library of Jordan

What travelers say:

National libraries play an important role in the preservation of our national cultural products and in carrying our culture on. Many countries have realized the importance of having a national library. In fact, some countries went as far as to consider it a national necessity and placed it on top of the priorities of the cultural list.  This is in addition to the widespread recognition by countries, including Jordan, that preserving information and allowing access to it as well as protecting the copyrights and intellectual property of all types, sets the groundwork for proper administration, development, and progress for scholars and for future generations. The Jordanian government realized this issue and established the Department of the National Library in 1994 to care for all types and forms of national intellectual products.
