Librarians أمناء المكتبات

Ketabook bridges the gap between North African scholarly publishers and academic institutions worldwide.

For over two decades, we've provided universities and research libraries with essential access to academic publications from Morocco, Algeria, Tunisia, and the broader Maghreb region—content often unavailable through traditional library vendors.

Our clients include prestigious institutions such as the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, The School of Oriental and African Studies (SOAS) in London, the University of Oxford, Georgetown University, or the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

 Books & Periodicals

In addition to books, we also provide subscriptions to a number of referred academic journals such as Hepéris-Tamuda, Al Lisan al ‘Arabi and others. We count among our periodicals’ subscribers the SOAS in London, the Bibliothèque Nationale de France, and top global academic distributors covering North America, Europe, and Asia.

Approval Plans & Blanket Orders

The most eminent libraries use our Approval Plan service to begin and keep building their scholarly collections on the Maghreb and the Islamic West. We acquire publications in general or very specifically determined profiles. Click here for more details ... 

 Location, Location, Location

In addition to our San Francisco office, our presence in Morocco’s capital city, Rabat, allows us to give you direct access to the Royal Institute for Amazigh Culture, the Institute of African Studies, the ALECSO Arabization Office, and to the largest Maghreb book fair (SIEL).

 FREE Academic Assistance & Counseling

Being academics ourselves, we can assist you in building up and customizing your Maghreb collections, whether general or around themes and subjects.
