| Abstract All kinds of libraries are considered inexhaustible treasure of knowledge that cannot be disseminated. They are the intellectual account of the cultural life which vividly embodies the amount of the output of the nation and its civilization, representing clearly thoughts and documenting information that could enrich the community members in all personal, social and economic aspects and provide students with knowledge. It is an urgent need in any civilized society to have libraries, for they play a key role in reserving the heritage from loss and also to transfer knowledge from previous ancestors to future generations. The holy city of Karbala as a religious and civilized place has various types of libraries; public, university, religious seminars, school, mosque and private libraries that can be found mostly in the city centre and in different parts of the ancient city except the university libraries which are on the main roads outside the city center. The libraries in Karbala contain references on its traditional heritage of the past centuries with a lot of valuable manuscripts and rare books which contribute to the reservation of the cultural heritage of the city and its history. The books and the precious manuscripts in the cabinets of these libraries also represent the treasure of the holy shrines of Imam Al-Hussein and Imam Al-Abbas (peace be upon them) that saves the bright civilization and the cultural aspects of Karbala. Furthermore, these libraries have a significant tourist role for the religious caravans who visit the city during all the seasons. | ||
