We're thrilled to announce that Ketabook is an official sponsor of the 2026 MELA/MELCOM Joint International Conference, taking place January 25-27 at the American University in Cairo's New Cairo Campus.
This landmark gathering brings together the Middle East Librarians Association and MELCOM International under the theme "Reflecting on Our Past, Charting Our Future: Middle East Librarianship in Transition." The conference explores the evolution of Middle East librarianship while examining emerging trends shaping the field's future.
For over 25 years, Ketabook has been dedicated to connecting libraries and academics with essential scholarly publications from North Africa and the Middle East. Supporting this conference aligns perfectly with our mission to strengthen access to regional scholarship and foster collaboration within the library community.
The timing is particularly special, as the conference takes place just before the Cairo International Book Fair, offering attendees a unique opportunity to immerse themselves in the vibrant world of Arabic publishing.
We look forward to connecting with librarians, scholars, and colleagues from around the world at this important gathering in Cairo.
