Biblioteca Alexandrina as a symbol of the new Egypt
02/08/2011
American values of freedom and scientific thought, says the former head of the New York Public Library, are being marvelously defended on the Mediterranean coast of Egypt by library director Ismail Serageldin. Egyptian youth who are demonstrating got their first experience with the internet, social media and discussion in free wheeling debate at the library facilities and the forum events organized at the Biblioteca. No wonder they formed a human cordon around the library. It stands as a ray of hope and a place for a new beginning for the true American ideas in a free Arab world.

We took a different way to help millions around the world build educated informed mindsets that affects and shapes their lives. For a future that is open, global and digital, with everyone having access to high quality information. We believe in the renewal of America, renewal of Europe, the renewal of India, the rest of Asia, Latin America and Africa. The renewal of our supply chains, health, education, infrastructure, as we rebuild our countries after the pandemic. Literacy and knowledge we believe cannot thrive and grow in a world of web bots, web crawlers, or AI. This requires human curiosity, human learning, and human imagination. We take as inspiration the saying- “One has to be free, and as broad as sky. One has to have a mind that is crystal clear, only then can truth shine in it.” Every contribution whether big or small is precious- in this crisis and ahead.
