Library Circles returns on May 26 with a major research project and display by Maysoon Al Dwair, exploring philosophies of education in the Arab and Muslim worlds and mapping UAE education networks, from the first school founded in 1907 to the 1920s and through to the unification of the United Arab Emirates in 1971.
