Back when I visited the National Library in October you couldn’t access any of the books yourself due to COVID safety precautions, you needed to have someone fetch the books for you. But, things are back to normal now. Yesterday morning I passed by the National Library and I was allowed access to all the books and archives. I still had to book an appointment via the meta.e.gov.kw website and you also need to be vaccinated to be allowed in, but other than that things are back to normal.
The library is next to my office which means I can go back to randomly passing by in the mornings on the way to work. I usually love going through old newspapers to find gems similar to the Hardees ad above from 1988 featuring the Thunder Cats. If you want the full resolution version click here.
The library is open Sunday to Thurday from 9AM to 1PM and for more info on what’s inside, check out my old post here.

A library opening 4 hours a day !!! i feel that’s pretty absurd
and only midweek and only during working hours. i kinda like it this way but only because it’s always empty and things always stay where i leave them.
A public library that opens for 4 hours… Do they not feel like working?
It’s because its a public library run by government employees so the hours are like a government office not a library.
That’s discouraging to be honest.
4 whole hours! That’s awesome. Fantastic.
(its also great weather and dust build character).
I still have those Thunder Cats toys until now 🙂 bought some and got some from Hardee’s.
Were they giving the toys inside the original packaging or was it loose?
I believe working hours under normal circumstances (pre-covid) are 8:00 AM – 2:00 PM.
