Whether it’s the arrival of a new sibling, bullying, hurt feelings, the loss of a pet or loved one, moving house, starting school or most anything else – our library has a book to help guide your child through it.

How can you help?
The Doha Mums Children’s Library is always accepting book donations, so if you are leaving the country or if your children have simply outgrown their books please let us know! If you are moving to Qatar from the U.S., the U.K. or Canada and have room in your container for books, supplies or even furniture please contact us. We are also looking for dependable volunteers to assist us in running the library sessions as well as “storytime readers” who enjoy reading to small groups of children; high school volunteers and empty-nesters are perfect for the storytime reader roles!
