Assabil Libraries is a non-governmental association founded in Lebanon in 1997 to establish and promote public libraries in the country in order to support democracy. The association has set up four objectives:[1]

1. Establishing, promoting, and supporting a network of public libraries throughout Lebanon.

2. Sponsoring cultural and social activities that encourage people to come to the library.

3. Establishing a training program for librarians and others who work in libraries.

4. Encouraging the production of books and educational materials in Arabic – especially for children.

Assabil Libraries are guided in our work by the 1994 UNESCO Public Library Manifesto.[2]
