Dear all,

I would like to thank all of you for your response to my post on burning the Egyptian Scientific Institute. I really appreciate every message I received about this issue. Today, I would like to share with you a new report by Cybrarians about what's happening after burning the Egyptian Scientific Institute, this report follows up the efforts that started to save the library collections and its restoration. It also has exclusive photos inside the National Library of Egypt where the restoration process is running.
