hard to imagine what the ancient Bibliotheca of yore might have been
like, but this modern rendition evokes soul searching like only the most

grand tradition of monumental architecture. The
brand new Bibliotheca Alexandrina is scheduled to be officially inaugurated
on Wednesday October 16. It will open to the public on the 20th.
