The Library of Alexandria holds hundreds of conferences, workshops, symposia and artistic performances every year, and it publishes books and monographs in many areas of knowledge.
In keeping with the legacy of its namesake, the Library seeks to produce and disseminate knowledge through all its activities, and reaches out to the public through a variety of training courses and academic seminars that promote knowledge and mutual dialogue and understanding among peoples and cultures.
