What Happened in the Library on the 14th of August
Posted on
On 14 August 2013, amidst the unfortunate violence and turmoil that Egypt has witnessed lately, the Library of Alexandria, was subjected to a number of attacks.
The brave and heroic staff of the Library's Internal Security team, alongside the Egyptian Police Force, protected the building from these irresponsible actions. Apart from the breaking of some glass panes on the Plaza, the bridge, and the entrance to the Conference Center, as a result of random gunshots fired aimlessly, the Library remains intact.
The Library's security staff are competent and prepared to protect this international institution which so many Egyptians had protected, by forming human chains, during previous incidents.
The Library of Alexandria hopes that peace, security and stability will reign for the benefit of our country.
