How did the Sharjah Public Library evolve from a ruler’s home into a cultural landmark?

Founded in 1925 as Sheikh Sultan bin Saqr Al Qasimi’s private collection at Al Hisn Fort, the library has moved six times over a century, passing through the hands of successive rulers and expanding to six locations — from Cultural Square to Khorfakkan’s scenic backdrop. Today, it stands as both a modern architectural gem and a living reminder of Sharjah’s literary heritage. What are your thoughts on how preserving such historic institutions shapes a city’s cultural identity?
