You might not have heard about her during your school years . At least this is the case for me . The contribution of  medieval Muslim  scientists  to the   European  science  is often ignored .Or if it  could not be ignored  it had been pretended  it was  of the Western culture . That was the case of Ibn Sīnā  the Persian  who got a Spanish name " Avicenna " in Europe to cover the fact of his Persian origin . He wrote the most important medical  book of his age and it was impossible to ignore  his works .

Reopening Measures

• 
  

Visits will continue by appointment only. Only 300 people will be allowed in the building during each time slot (8:00 to 10:00 AM, 10:30 AM to 2:30 PM, and 3:30 to 8:00 PM), from Saturday to Thursday. The Library will be closed on Fridays. To check out books, you must submit a hold request in advance, as the shelving tiers are closed. Librarians will prepare the books for you to pick up.  Only patrons with a green status on the Ehteraz app will be allowed access. Your temperature will also be checked at entry. You are required to wear a face mask at all times. People over the age of 60 will be allowed into the Library only if they have the gold frame on their Ehteraz app. DVDs, CDs, iPads, headphones, chargers or other items will not be available. Observe social distancing guidelines at all times. Social gatherings of more than 5 people are strictly not allowed in the Library and will be monitored by our security. Individual study carrels and computer stations are open and may be used on a first-come, first-use basis, with only one user inside each study carrel. Patrons can return the items manually at the bins installed at the main entrance of the Library anytime without the need of any appointment, or at the User Services Desk (with an appointment in this case, to be allowed into the building). Photocopying and printing machines are available to users who already have their own printing cards. The Library will not sell printing cards at this time. The Children’s Library is re-opening on 25 July with two time slots, 8:00 – 10:00 and 10:30 AM – 2:30 PM. The Young Adults' Area will also be accessible from 1 August.
