Abstract

A visit to different libraries in Jordan, some dedicated to children and some to researchers according to their field. Libraries play a fundamental role in the development of thought, culture and science. Jordan has made a considerable progress in the field of education and science by building libraries. Among these libraries we can cite: the library of Mutah’s University for the citizens of the south, the municipal library in the capital, Abdelhamid Chouman’s library, the medical union library and the association of Jordanian libraries. The Mutah’s University library offers many services to students: for research, reading or post-graduate studies. The Amman’s municipal library was built in the city center, which makes it getatable for all.
