The Bachoura and Geitawi libraries' collections currently include:

  • 30,000 books in Arabic, French, English, Armenian, Sri Lankan, Spanish, and German

The Bachoura and Geitawi libraries attract more than 120 visitors a day - children on organized school visits, kids who drop by after school to do research or borrow materials for a school project, high school and university students looking for a quiet place to study, adults who wish to read the daily newspaper, and people who are curious about what a library has to offer. Approximately 79,000 people visited the Municipal Public Library in Bachoura during the last four years.
