The Bibliotheca Alexandrinas summer festival of the arts soon to be joined by an active book fair and cultural program of lectures started with excellent attendance. About 900 to a 1000 persons attended the open air concert of the works of Omar Khairat played by the BAs own orchestra under the baton of maestro Sherif Mohie Eldin. It augurs well for the Library that has not yet officially opened its doors, and where works on the conference center are proceeding apace.
