Michael Kelley, Library Journal; Director Says Young People Protect Library in Alexandria:
"As street protests continued to unfold in Egypt against the 30-year reign of President Hosni Mubarak, the director of the Bibliotheca Alexandrina is crediting young people in the country with protecting the library.
In a January 30 statement on the library's website, Ismail Serageldin, the director, wrote:
"The library is safe thanks to Egypt's youth, whether they be the staff of the Library or the representatives of the demonstrators, who are joining us in guarding the building from potential vandals and looters. I am there daily within the bounds of the curfew hours."
